NURSING: It doesn't matter how fantastic you are or how good you are, every now and then someone, because they are who THEY are, will subvert you, attack your reputation , and seek to annihilate you. I think this is just Nursing, as it is. It is a history of 'horizontal violence' from when nursing began, and it doesn't ever change. Mind you, I would never ever do that to anyone because I have a certain standard of personal ethics...but I do have a list of those who have done it to me, if you'd like to see it.
Noting the stepping down of Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce for basically rooting/rorting the system more than anything else. Good. You can't give your girlfriend a high paying job that doesn't exist...then give her a good severance package to leave it. I wonder if anyone will ever ask her for the money back. I doubt it. It is not about the money, except...it is about the money. It's called corruption...but politicians and public servants in Australia are never expected to pay back the money. They just step down. Easy money. A country can run pretty well without a Deputy Prime Minister, and indeed a Prime Minister, and, indeed, an actual government, for many years without anyone noticing. That's reality. In fact, it usually runs much better, and more economically, that way.
