You serve Australia.
You are paid for by Australian taxpayers.
You operate in the interests of the Australian public.
You are a public servant plain and simple. You can either do this with honour or claim you are superior to somebody working at centrelink who is also a public servant doing a different job towards a similar cause.
And when did I compare you to centrelink? Apart from the above in reference to your comparison. Is a public servant in another government department beneathe you?
It sounds like you are throwing curve balls trying to steer a debate in a more sympathetic and favourable direction.
In the weeds? I think you're "on the weed" ok:
