Given what’s come to light regarding the, in my opinion, blatantly corrupt behaviour of Lia’s family, we got conned in the last election.
Marginally better than Labor, but just a bunch of incompetent simpletons.
Cant believe I am saying this: Good on you Lia!
$700-750 per week per sworn member having their accommodation paid for is so lucrative cops from UK, Canada and NZ apply to work for the NT COPS, plus international relocation costs!
Plus Entitlements and allowances that no other NT Public servant can comprehend!
What was the last estimate? $200k=220k cost for every cop in the NT?
Question: Are the cops keeping us safe? No. No prosecution for all my break ins despite video footage!
Does anyone else have the same story?
There may indeed be a wide field of people who apply for such Police roles.
However, I’d suggest there’s a critical issue in retaining new recruits. Hazard a guess why?…
errr…could it be…
The Extreme Sports Nepotism (Meet me wife and sister)?
The Cronyism (This is Davo,Simmo, Johno and for DEI purposes, Prabesh, from Cricket club)?
The quality of the management?
Sending non-related to management recruits to the corners of the NT whilst the related recruits get to stay in Darwin?
Sending married recruits with kids to ASP or remote, causing them to rip their kids out of school, while single recruits get to stay where they are?
The Human resources Ingrained Loser mAnageRs accompanYing their kids in their pfes interview?
If NT Govt. behaviour, incompetency, is to continue as per the past ALP and now current CLP Govt; then there can be no financial or demographic growth for present and future territorians. And the cost? Indigenous and Non -Indigenous at each others throats. The only benefactor? Well that will be determined well in advance. Isn’t that correct past and present CHIEF MINISTERS? PS Every, every,Territorian that loves their N.T. Can only hope whichever Federal Party wins the Election this week . . . SAVES US? OR? ABANDON’S US! We all will not survive a collapse of our Police Force.
“The government earlier flipped-flopped on an election promise on police retention bonuses”
Nope, that’s called Lying.
Here’s your new “educational tool”/Finocchiaro-flex, boys and girls for forcing LiaR to publicly sack Murphy and asking her to do something, anything, about those corrupt cops who lied in statutory declarations.
“I’m absolutely appalled. The government’s offer demonstrates a blatant disregard for the sacrifices made by our members every single day.”
We all couldn’t agree more in our household.
