EOI rejection by Manager

Hi all,

I am a member of QLD public service and have recently been successful for an EOI, only to have my manager block the move as we are “too busy”. This is for a level above what I am currently doing in a team I have show interest in joining in the past and brought up in PDPs.

Further to this, the role will be advertised as a permanent soon and instead of having the advantage of proving myself in the team, I will potentially be going up against whoever is offered the EOI after me.

This is a bit of a vent but also, do I have any actions I can take from here?
