Human emotions aside . These players make money to handle these situations better . But I know I would have done the same <| sep |> So in summaryThe federal libs agreed to a political stitch up with the WA libs to try and collect tax money in order to make the WA lib government look good . The law which the federal libs agreed to not dispute was invalid in its entirety . Brandis tried to order an independent statutory office holder to ignore a request for legal advice so that their political stitch up would hold . He then tried to implement a legal direction to prevent him from being able to ever do that again . Brandis misled Parliament by claiming that he had consulted with Gleeson about the direction despite the clear evidence against it . The Lib bully boys on the Senate committee investigating the ' consultation ' berated , insulted , and abused Gleeson when he was giving evidence and indeed accused Gleeson of having misled the committee . The libs ultimately bullied Gleeson into resigning and then promptly dropped the direction once their problem went away . Could these dimwits get any more incompetant and hopeless ? We all know the answer is yes
