NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian justified a nearly $90,000 pay rise for Police Commissioner Mick Fuller just months before proposing a freeze on the wages of public sector workers.NSW Police officers had their 2.5% wage increase put on hold for 12 monthsThe ABC has obtained a letter sent in late March to the Remuneration Tribunal, the body which ultimately decided Commissioner Fuller's $86,826 pay rise.
In the letter, Ms Berejiklian said "it was appropriate that the role receive a level of remuneration which reflects the role and responsibilities".She pointed to other senior office holders such as the Australian Federal Police Commissioner, the Australian Border Force Commissioner and the Queensland Police Commissioner who all earned more than Commissioner Fuller.Commissioner Fuller was earning $562,674, after taking on the role in April 2017.
Mr Borsak said the party would be voting with Labor, the Greens, the Animal Justice Party and possibly One Nation to have the regulation disallowed and said the Government should have been more consultative."It is a slap in the face and a kick in the guts for all public sector employees," she said. "How dare she reward these nurses and those 100,000 other health workers in NSW with a pay cut. They deserve a medal, not pay cut."with significant write-downs over the next four years.
Rules for thee but not for me. That's the MO government's used from day one.
So feed up with this rotten ,gift of tax payers hard earned .😠
Gladys buys the fealty of the states chief law enforcement officer
Margforequality The sound of silence
Madness!
ENQUIRY ENQUIRY ENQUIRY
I don’t agree with this decision
Lol
He needs to show us 'we're all in this together' by having the good grace to refuse increase.
This decision by the koalakiller premier is disgraceful. We should be out in the streets over this...Nurses, Police etc have just risked their lives for us and to repay them like this is a betrayal.
While lots of people lost jobs struggling to make payments and feed family, he gets pay raise with public tax payers. It's ssucks to high heaven.
'Gladys Berejiklian justified a nearly $90,000 pay rise for Police Commissioner Mick Fuller ' .......... for services rendered?
No way GladysB
Hmmm so . . . Not everyone is having their wages frozen. Only some of us are in it together . . . Now Auspol
Disgrace!
berejiklians evil and diabolic attack on workers must see her go, no one deservers that pay ,especially after his appalling performance with the virus and the bushfires, he is totally incompetent and a fraud like berejiklian
I’d be inclined to think all public servants would show humility and accept a deferment of any pay increases until this pandemic is cover. No backdating of increases irrespective!
And long after building a hugely over budget and underperforming electric tortoise to carry not many people around the eastern suburbs... ooh and let's not forget the stadium...🤬
What is the starting salary of a police officer? The average salary of a serving front line police officer? auspol
That would employ 1 police constable for a year
Camouflaging what she wanted to do due to COVID19 necessities is disgraceful
So wrong
Unjustified.
he would retire with super fat super going on cruises
It's more protection money that a pay raise. GladysB RubyDutton
We are not all in this together
ESL and Medibank Private rates, Water, Gas, Electricity, all essential etc... are also on the increased in 6 months times. So everyone’s wages freeze, but this one increased is just incredible!
Wow, double my wages with just one pay rise! Out of this world!
He was neighbours with ScottyFromMarketing He glossed over any ‘investigations’ that would incriminate LNPCrimeFamily Also; His mouth looks like a cat’s bum sucked on a lemon. Corruption AuspolSoCorrupt
Seriously speechless
Let’s not forget the coverup he was in the middle of for GladysB and RubyDutton
Gotta see your thugs are well paid for any social unrest ahead
How smart are these people! Do they think everybody else is blind or stupid？
It's necessary to outbid the criminals, they'd be willing to pay at least that a year for a police commissioner.
She's sick!
AnthonyCole68
The NSW premier absolutely has to go. You guys and girls gotta cote her out at tye next election. She’s probably the worst in Australia right now.
That's just bulshit. He doesn't deserve it.
There’s obviously some sausage hiding going there!
JulieLyford Disgusting. I hope they’re voted out at the next opportunity
Great! $90k of increment then 10% reduction. Nice deal ! I will talk to my boss tomorrow.
What did the Police Commissioner do or not do to warrant the windfall?
Another LNPfail
While she could justify nurses and teachers would have to take the pay freeze? I don’t think so!
Just look at him -Look over his interviews -that man along with so many of them in the higher ranks of the police force are simply Foul people - Animals employing animals - dogs that half smart politicians who them selfs brake the law and use to their bidding
Not really! That raise is some people’s annual salary!
Morrison owes him.
yeah of course, this crap is ripe year after year in any brand government, so why report it
Outrageous.........
Strip searching kids is expensive
Why does pond scum float to the top. How do they regard us let alone their public servant comrades. They eat beluga caviar and we get told to soldier on. What if there is another lock down, do they have foresight other than securing their own fat arses. EVIL.
Boeufblogginon A scandal.
This is normal for any government in Aus, LNP or Labor. Ridiculous.
It's a shame GladysB and her politician mates haven't made any sacrifices. The Labor party can't say anything either as they too have not made any sacrifices. I take back what I previously said a couple of weeks ago about her doing a great job. Same old Govt crap.
What a waste of money. I'm sure he'd strip search children for free.
Oh thats why the hefty fines for seeing your family and getting sunshine
This is utter crap, nobody is worth that much money, it's a disgrace.
When every one else is taking a pay cut, MPs and Senior public servants think it's ok to take a pay rise. They are so out of touch with the community that they say they serve.....
Must be a relation?
Isn't this the bloke who lives next door to ScottyFomMarketing the one who investigated Angus Taylor and the one who is leading the investigation into the Ruby Princess. This has the hallmark of the usual LNP stench. Didn't know my fucking arse!!!
Is it just me, or does this bloke look REALLY dodgy?
That's a little arrogant don't you think.
Any decent leader or person with a conscience would have deferred the raise till later.
NSW = FUCKED
No one should be able to become indulgently wealthy on the tax payers dollar. Obviously the station should come with a decent pay packet but this is ridiculous.
If this nonsense keeps going even Australians will be on the streets! ( physically distanced of course!)
No, tried to...
How many individual police officers would have their usual pay increase (which they intend to freeeze) covered by his individual pay rise?
Services rendered?
Outrageous! LNPfail
Damn. Maybe we're a decade behind the USA after all
Let them all eat cake!
What a joke
Very good example 👍😉😉👍
Lot of money for a Bin man
It was stated by the commissioner in the daily telegraph he didn’t want the payrise and Elliot and Gladys still put it through.
Take it back off him!!
