Taxpayers are paying for a regular citizen to use RAAF transport for a European job interview🤯

A couple of observations about #ScottyFromMarketing's Tokyo photo op.
1. What the hell were those elbow bumps for in a country where bowing as greeting is a cultural norm?
2. Does he understand how disrespectful addressing Suga-san as Yoshi appears to Japanese people?
