Collingwood Board: Christine Holgate thrown under a Bus?

One other thing. The "average frontline post office workers" are mostly the owners of those businesses. Those owners are generally very supportive of Holgate and angry about what has occurred, as they know how much she has done to keep their businesses alive. If she had bowed to pressure to sell the parcel division, they would most likely be unemployed.

Also, weird that everyone seems to be forgetting to mention that Albanese was also calling for her head at the same time, yet now this is supposedly another "The Liberal Party's problem with women" thing?

Both Albanese and Morrison should have said "nothing to see here, move on" but they both thought it would be more popular to pretend to be outraged.

Of course they do, usually with the response it’s not the oppositions responsibility if the government agrees with them.

I was really bored the day it broke and was stick watching question time. The opposition went on and on and on about what a disgrace it was and demanding action be taken.

Then when action gets taken that had bipartisan support, people change history yet again and make it all about Morrison.

Much like how opposition to SSM was from both sides, yet its since been framed as held up by LNP and widely supported by the ALP...

We do know Morrison is not just a sexist bully here but a coward. Just apologise and say you got it wrong. When this first happened I thought she was guilty and corrected the error of my ways. Between Scotty from Marketing and moi one of us is a lying cnut and it’s not me.

Scotty got it wrong but is not man enough to admit it.

She was certainly thrown under the bus. Hope she wins a huge pay out for the suffering she has had to endure because of a Liberal Party dysfunctional board and because of the behaviour of Scotty from Marketing

David, we’re in the wrong business. My oldest got more than a $10K bonus: good employers reward their staff. My daughter has been well remunerated for achievements (making $ and saving $ for her employer)

This works down the line through each store she manages: achieve sales goals and get rewarded.

I get party pies and a cold asapargus spear in a rolled white bread sanga with the crusts cut off and a cup of international roast coffee in a polystyrene cup when I go over and above

You work fixed hours, you get overtime when you work more hours regardless of how well you perform. Your daughter doesn't get overtime, she gets a bonus based on performance.

Ideological difference, remuneration difference.

It’s not really apples v apples though. My overtime is shift replacement. Much as I would like to sell some people with a Mental Health concerns I can’t produce more so to speak: some people take minutes some take hours.

My daughter works on profit and how much she sells etc. She has targets to achieve with respect to budgets. We have contact times etc but it’s not quite the same.

So, am I right to conclude here that Holgate is highly competent to the tune of tens of millions of dollars and two major success stories and the rest is so pathetically irrelevant you wonder why it's even a story?

That seems to be an accurate summary of the reality of the facts of the situation, but it is being talked about because two politicians stuck their noses in because they thought there was political benefit to them to do so.
