The Australian is reporting “Queensland’s 224,000 state public servants are set to receive pay rises totalling more than three per cent as others in the workforce endure static income levels, wage cuts, reduced hours, unpaid stand-down or lose jobs because of the economic impact of the coronavirus”.

Where is this money coming from? Wait for the pollies to all cry poor after they finish this madness.
Yet casual workers who are technically still employed can’t get anything 🤬🤬🤬🤬
But the overwhelming majority of public servants don't even come near to what Peter Gleason earns from sky as a rwnj commentator. There are fat cats, but they are all on contract but represent less than 0.5% of all public servants. But hey don't let the truth get in the way.
There are a lot of votes to be garnered from a bloated public service who not only receive a pay rise, but also a lump sum bonus payment.

Social distancing does not mean 'we have to be emotionally distant': Gillard | Sky News AustraliaBeyond Blue Chairperson Julia Gillard says Australians should be aware of the effects of social distancing and isolation on people as normal lifestyles are being disrupted due to the coronavirus pandemic. \n\nMental health, domestic violence and Medicare services are set to receive a $1.1 billion boost to help people cope with the economic and social impacts of the virus outbreak. \n\nMs Gillard told Sky News Beyond Blue had already seen an increase in the number of people seeking their support resources. \n\nShe said there would be a varied response to the pandemic from those affected by isolation as well as “financial pressures”. \n\nA new focus of support services was to “really intervene early before mental health issues spiral,” she said. \n\n“I think this is a pandemic that then creates a wave of other problems.\n\n“We have got to be physically distant from each other but that doesn’t mean we have to be emotionally distant from each other.”\n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support.\n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636\n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63\n\nLifeline 131 114\n\nImage: Getty JuliaGillard I think it's the opposite...people are in each other's space more and can't handle it thus fighting!
