Hastie was a Special Forces Rupert and therby would have sat behind the wire whilts blokes like BRS were outside it, shooting and getting shot at..
Lambie also is described as a "vteran", when the harshest service she has seen is Kapooka ?
She looks and acts like a stimulant enthusiast.
Parliaments in Australia need drug and alcohol testing but don't hold your breath waiting for that, they make the rules and regard themselves as amongst the many protected species they have created.
That is spot on mate. Hearing the stories about Hastie from mates of mine who were involved have very harsh comments about the kind of man he was when in the service and where he placed himself, and his alleged competitiveness and jealousy.
AND Lambie.
Reminds me about something we've probably all experienced in a competitive workplace.
I had a few welders working for me on one project, all absolutely first-class tradesmen.
They were all outstanding welders, quiet, incredible tradesmen, all team members. Except one.
He was as excellent as the rest, but he continuously tried to elevate himself above the others, tried to get more done, always tried to highlight anyone else's mistakes whilst hiding his own, always trying to put the others against one-another. All with the aim of being on top by default.
Maybe not coincidentally, this bloke had long hair down to his belt and was 5'5" tall.
The others just did great work, quietly trying to do better because of a self-achievement perspective, nothing else.
In the end, I had to let him go after a few official warnings and note-taking. The result was a more enjoyable workplace for all, and he was replaced and we all moved forward.
But wherever he went after that, I doubt he changed and just took that destabilising personality and giant shoulder-chip to the next workplace, despite his skill level not needing to be that way at all.
