The EL 1s and above full well know they might be in front of Parliament one day. It's covered in training pretty well, in the anti corruption stuff especially. The department chiefs and the APS heads get paid very well for being regularly dragged in front of the circus and asked why they've carried out the government's instructions.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be in front of the camera, I'm saying they are generally hard working ppl implementing what the government has asked them to do.
I was just asking for them to be respected, if you have a problem with the policy they are implementing that's great, take it up with the politician/minister that asked them to implement it.
