I am not a lawyer, but it probably is not the same. Lieing to get a government job may have criminal implications depending on the job role and requirements, security clearance requirements, authority of the position, etc.., whereas lieing for a civilian job that is not involved in legal enforcement, government secrets, etc.. is likely a civil issue and the fallout would probably depend on the level of the position and the investment by the company involved. I'm sure there would be edge cases where I am incorrect. Probably in certain banking roles, or positions that bridge government and civilian orgs. Just guessing, really.
- schnevets 7y agoI would assume a CIO position would require some Australian equivalent of Top Secret Clearance. That would go beyond simple civil fraud into a criminal offense. However, CNN left those implications off the story because it is more entertaining to imagine she is in jail for using Kate Upton as her LinkedIn profile pic...
