Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

A bit of early bastardry from the new government has already put crossbenchers offside, including those they're depending on to get legislation through in the upper house:

Who says they aren't adequately resourced, apart from them?
I read that Albo has said he'd beef up the Parliamentary Library to provide the service of reviewing and summarising draft legislation for everyone. It is somewhat of a specialised skill set, not something you'd give to an average staffer.
For mine, classic case of it's always hard to take away something. People sook whether they needed it or not.
The number of times I've heard "we need more staff" from people with ingrained poor work practices is unreal. Status also comes into it.

Jacqui Lambie puts it pretty persuasively:

I’m not an expert on everything. Nobody is. Not even the PM.
That’s why his government has around 500 staff. And why he’s not cutting a single one.
