Desmo, thank goodness I'm not in the RAAF. Although I'd hope that the CO of the flight concerned raised the issue with his higher command who also raised it with the PM's office and so on. In fact, it looks like exactly this occurred given that it got wide enough to be published in the press.
Interesting though that we have different expectations as to how the PM is allowed to treat other people compared to the rest of us are supposed to treat other people. Interesting that it's just accepted that someone in a position of power is OK to abuse someone else to the stage where she ends up in tears. Ironic that Kev07 campaigned on the whole work choices and the threat of the 'bastard bosses' and it turns out he is one!
Nothing excuses the PM's behaviour.
