I don't know what world you're living in but here in the real world there's no such thing as a person who wouldn't accept such a pay rise.
Yeah, I'd accept it. Anyone who says they wouldn't is full of it.
Please do me the courtesy of quoting me in context, NPM (and actually read what I wrote, luvdids) before accusing me of being full of anything. Thanking you.

Don't forget Hitler was also a very intelligent man. :)
With due all respect Sq3, that was a dumb analogy.
Brown is a Nazi & mass murderer?

He's more intelligent than dead snapper & that 'ipso facto' makes him more intelligent than most pollies.
1 out of a 100 is a pretty good score card IMO!
(His sources might have been a bit fishy - he's usually quite well schooled - on the day I saw him he filleted Joyce on TV - didn't quite have him hook, line & sinker though but saw through Joyces' lure).
Regardless of his politics he is a very articulate & intelligent man.

I suppose I could have picked a better analogy - but it was just meant to show that not all thought to be intelligent men are good.
When I see Brown talk on the TV my thoughts probably resemble that of a bull that has just seen the red rag.
Coaches give you direction but skills win you matches.
People who hate Bob Brown are just... smarter than Bob Brown - just joking David
But his schnapper fiasco - and then the back flip - have made Bob Brown and the Greens lots of enemies in Qld - as especially the Gold and Tweed Coasts.

Reality doesn't wait for contexts. And reread my post, I wasn't 'accusing' you of anything, except having too much time on your hands (and that was so implicit I didn't see it myself until just now)
"Almost a quarter of votes cast by shareholders ahead of Qantas annual general meeting on Friday supported a resolution from the Australian Centre for Corporate Responsibility that called on Qantas to review the "reputational, financial and legal" risks involved in the Department of Home Affairs transporting or deporting asylum seekers on its flights.

ACCR director of human rights Dhakshayini Sooriyakumaran told Qantas' AGM in Adelaide on Friday that the company faced rising risks of complicity in human rights abuses and international law breaches.
"The government is outsourcing this risk and therefore the consequences of this risk to its service providers," she said."
