A lot of them wouldn't get a job anywhere else. These would be people with little skills outside horses and animals. Some would use recreational drugs, so what, thats life in the real world.

what a post 811 Report post Posted December 10, 2016 The more recent articles I just read seem to be unclear as to what his staff tested positive too. The one thing that is clear is that waller is much more proactive in ensuring his staff are drug free. Obviously not something waller could have anticipated, but a bloke like waller will not tolerate someone putting his livelihood at stake, and will be be very vigilant in the future. I get your point aquaman but you would not be saying so what if you saw how volatile meth users can be. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never once said they are not hard working, clever, smart, conscientious. What i did say is, they are by in large unemployable in most other professions. These are not my words, but the words of Gai Waterhouse and Chris himself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
