Bronwyn Bishop: she acted like a spoilt brat
A former flight attendant has told of his brush with Bronwyn Bishop when she refused to board a flight after she discovered she had not been assigned her preferred seat.
Clayton Long was working on a Perth-to-Sydney Qantas flight in 2000 and claims Ms Bishop delayed take-off by half an hour.
Mr Long, who has almost 30 years of flying experience, told The Sydney Morning Herald the then- minister for aged care was kicking up a fuss because she was not seated in the front row of business class.

‘She wouldn’t take anything. She was like a spoilt child,’ he said.
‘I just thought it was incredible. She’s paid by the Australian taxpayer.

‘We take whatever seats we’re given,’ he said.
