Many spend hours every week finding everything from lawyers to medical advice, tracking down evidence to support asylum seekers' claims and lobbying for action on languishing cases.

At the end of an argument between him and ABC chairman Lloyd Braun, Iger gets so agitated that he accidentally hits a waiter, who spills coffee down Iger's shirt. Not that Iger...
