ABSTRACT
Steve is shouting at you. ‘The container is held up at Jakarta. The customs documentation has discrepancies. I need you to sort that paperwork and get my stuff over here, pronto. Bunch of amateurs.’
When he pauses for breath you tell him there’s nothing wrong with the customs documents. It’s actually a bribe they want. It’s what they term a ‘fine’. He can either disobey the Bribery Act and pay up. Or he can return the container to Brisbane and resend it with ‘perfect’ documentation (that is, the same documents). Steve starts shouting again. You look out of the window. It hasn’t been a great start to the day.
