    Shows how f***ing clueless she is.

    The reality is that our problems come a lack of investment in productivity as crap management throw cheap labour at issues rather than automating things.

      She's quite right:

      Graft is defined as the act of taking advantage of your political position or government job by taking money or property in dishonest or fraudulent ways. When a police officer takes bribes, this is an example of graft.

            One needs to be at home to have a plumber visit so one would have thought him having people WFH a lot would be better for his own business.
