Many a person may think that doing dirty work for a government agency can reap rewards. A casual observer watching Lindall Watson the Acting Principal of Gapuwiyak School in 2009 and 2010 would have assumed that her help would have been rewarded.
Like so many people who come to the NT, Watson was used and then deposed of. That Principals job that should have been in the bag was not forthcoming, the reward was a “pissy posting” in “nowheresville”, in other words bye, see you later, you are expendable. You are shafted.
Once again the dodgy director Hylton Hayes of “coffee for mates” fame had a big hand in this matter called “Shirley Nirrpurranydji Gate”.
Perhaps Watson could have went far in the NT if was not for Hylton Hayes? We can only speculate.
Clear message in this for everyone. Never get involved in other people’s issues when you are not required to. Trying to ingratiate yourself may give you a reward you do not want.
I climbed the greasy pole only to find that the bottle of Champagne at the top was filled with piss.
