**REMINDER** Day of Action Against Government Budget Cuts in NSW Police – Tomorrow Tuesday 19th of March

REMINDER – Day of Action Against Government Budget Cuts in NSW Police – Tomorrow Tuesday 19th of March (PDF version)

The NSW election is fast approaching (23rd March) and it’s critical you make your voice heard!

Unsworn staff in Police are still reeling from the round of drastic cuts which has just been implemented under the euphemism of “Re-engineering”.

This will only get worse if the Liberal/Nationals government is returned. The last NSW state budget under Premier Berejiklian and Treasurer Perrottet locked in four years of annual cuts to the public service of 3% under another euphemism “efficiency dividend”.

The “efficiency dividend” will not apply to sworn police, so the entire burden of four years of 3% cuts in Police will fall on unsworn staff – a whopping 12% budget cut over the next four years. This will make the cuts already undertaken through Re-engineering look like nothing.

We have already heard of proposals to cut roster staff in the bush. The Dept of Justice has already implemented a freeze on recruitment and transfers and Police may not be far behind.

This government does not believe in public servants or public services – it’s time to fight these cuts. SAVE THE STATE. CHANGE THE GOVERNMENT.

Tomorrow on Tuesday 19th March, four days before the state election, the PSA encourages all its members working in NSW Police to participate in a day of action to protest these cuts.
