There's an ad on tv in Queensland about all of the public servants getting a 4% pay rise. All, that is, except for those who do the hardest job of all. No, I'm not talking about those desk bound jockeys whose biggest threat is RSI, I'm talking about the boys and girls in blue. Why is this even an issue? The answer is simple. These are the people that protect us - they are not the ones that put the assholes back on the street - that's the court system. Any time there is a pay rise for public servants, the police get the same rise ... plus another 1%. They're worth it.
Imagine doing your job every day, thinking that project was finished and you could move on to the next one, only to find that same project on your desk the next day, ready for you to start all over. Would you feel as though you'd achieved something? And that only affects you (and maybe your loved ones if you took your frustration home). Some of these assholes that the court system spews back into society, affect all of us in some way.
So Anna Bligh, when you finally realise your mistake and give the police the pay rise they deserve, how about you look into sentencing. Let's start seeing the punishment fit the crime.
