PM reduced hostess to tears over meal

[gav]

Why didn't she stand up to him and tell him to make his own effing sandwich?

Are you forgetting who she was serving? You obviously have no idea about life in the military to make such a statement.

 

[rederob]

How pathetic can a Defence Department be.
They refuse to comply with a Ministerial request to stop recovery action on overpayments.
And they can't even work out what meals to serve - not for the first time - on a plane that specifically caters for VIP flights.
Defence is a big budget item, and Rudd will be looking for "savings" come budget time.
Defence is doing themselves a grave disservice if they believe they can disobey a Ministerial directive, and then stuff up basic flight services, and still expect to get what they ask for.
The Defence Secretary and the CDF need become accountable, or step aside.
Their ineptitude is laughable for a nation that proudly remembers the sacrifices we make for others.

Yes, these Labor fellows have no idea on how to treat the servants. Respect is everything. It goes both ways

Defence may be at some risk, but PM's piss off Defence at a huge risk to themselves. More dirt will surface.

I can see it now, GG consults Armed Forces and approves a coup. Australia to be run by a military juanta "until such time as democracy can be restored and independant elections held".

I wonder if K Dudd abused the strippers at the NY 'gentlemens' club for 'improper service'?
They wouldve slapped the yellow of his nasty old earwax stained teeth

Wonder what the pompous git wouldve said while doing it?
"Salutations female member of the human race i blissfully award you my financial contribution in appreciation of your professional contribution to increasing my levels of enjoyment, may i sample the sumptous banquet that are your artificially inflated mammary glands?"

Translation
"Hey love heres a few for giving me a boner, can i suck your t!ts?"

Nah t!ts produce milk, milk is animal fat, Kevs on a no animal fat diet, he would more likely ask if he could sample the sea food platter gyrating before his face.

Here I am going to have to go against the crowd

1. why is she in the RAF, if she had a cry because she was upset by serving the Prime Minister, then how is she going to handle being in a combat situation or some other dangerous situation. Who the hell let her into the armed forces ???

2. I have had female staff burst into tears for me saying the most innocuous things to them. Taking them quietly into the office and saying "we need to evaluate your work performance" has seen some female staff start to blubber.

My point was that in and of itself, tears mean nothing, she could just be quick to tears a the drop of a hat and the prime minister might not have been particularly rude at all.

The flip side is, I have had female staff go through having a knife at their throat and not shed a tear, brave girls. Perhaps that is the sort of employee that the RAF should be looking for ?

3. Harden the fark up.. please... geeze, my staff handle more abusive customers then that every day ! If she is that weak, perhaps she should resign from the RAF. It's not as they they were being attacked by a squadron of MIG's !

How brave of you to have a go at a woman when you dont even know the circumstances, the armed forces arent all front line troops, why dont you try it sometimes we might see some real tears then...............yeah so just harden the fark up yourself

 

[beerwm]

errr,

it is the Prime Minister, and she is only a Flight Attendent - I'm sure the RAAF have Chefs, Janitors, etc - doesnt mean they are trained in Desert Warfare.

Anyway its no big deal, just another character flaw the PM has.

You being such a sook can empathise, no doubt.
However, as one who been through basic training (mostly at Campbell Barracks), I can assure you that the PM has nothing on the average RSM , WOFF or WO when it comes to dishing out words of admonishment.
If indeed the female did shed a tear, it was more likely a reflection of her incompetence.
The PM is THE regular traveller on the VIP flight and his diet is NOT a secret. Any well trained attendant would have made it their business to know in detail the food and drink preferences of the most important travellers.
While the media might be beating up some rather old news - likely resulting from "payback" after the recent audit report on the overpayments debacle - those in the services generally are finding it a bit hard to believe that the RAAF reckon they can male mileage from the incident.
Our PM has a reasonable expectation that those who work with and for him are competent, indeed, the best of the best. To put him in the air with a sorry bunch of wingers who clearly aren't up to the task makes the nation as a whole a laughing stock.
The RAAF should put this one behind them quickly, and ensure there are no more stuff ups.

So you've been through basic training, whats that got to do with it.
Is that why you are so nasty, couldnt handle it ?

The flight attendant is probably not used to rudeness from some one who is supposed to know better, the PM's poofy diet is no excuse to use his position to ABUSE a woman, the man's a wimp and you seem to take his side which doesnt say much for you either.

Last time I looked the RAF was the Royal Air Force and part of the British defense force. But I'm sure you meant the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force).

She is probably your average trolly dolly who is in the Vip service because of her looks and not her fighting capacity...
I know I'm going to offend our airforce folks but generally only the fighter jet pilots have a fighting mindset. Oh I should also give credit to the Caribou crews as they have some talented crews amongst them that have a can do attitude.

 

[Solly]

I'm probably speaking out of turn, but I reckon give this FA a ride-a-long with the cabin crew on a JQ Sydney-Denpasar sector at the end football season, that will harden her up for any in flight incident that she'll ever be likely to encounter on OZ Airforce One. :

I didn't know they ran basic training at Campbell Barracks, I always thought it was run at Kapooka in NSW.

Back on topic, I think it was poor form for krudd to lose his temper and carry on like a pork chop. He is suppose to be the Prime minister of this country and should know better. He behaves like he is the all charming gentleman in public, but than when his guard is down his true colours shine through. He doesn't fool me one bit, he is a great pretender just like when he staged his swear word at the workers rally recently. I generally don't have much time for Politicians at the best of time, but Rudd annoys me even more.

Maybe the military can stage a coup with the blessing of the GG, and than we can really cull the fat and get rid of these unnecessary, self serving bureaucrats.

 

[MrBurns]

Kapooka is the place , was there last year to see my son at the presentation, won Precision at Arms too.

Rudd is a little acid tongued prick, he must have been particularly nasty to bring someone to tears then have to apologize.

There's a lot of people who would like to reintroduce him to meat....with knuckles in it.

I bet he wouldn't try that trick in a hotel in the western suburbs.......bully and coward.

Campbell Barracks is for gay recruits perhaps
