Wage increase for police
THE PROMISE: During the campaign and leading up to the election, Mark McGowan promised the continuation of the revised wages policy for public sector employees implemented by the Barnett Government in 2016. The revised wages policy was a cap of 1.5% per year applying to all industrial agreements expiring on or after June 1, 2016.
STATUS: A day after winning the State Election, Mark McGowan immediately broke this promise, removed the cap of 1.5% and instead replaced the wages policy with a $1,000 per year increase (amounting to an increase of $19.20 per week).
