Government accuses GSD of supporting GFRS claim "that would cost millions"

Government says the Opposition’s presence at the GFRS demonstration has been interpreted as support for the cause.

The GSD’s Joelle Ladislous and Craig Sacarello visited the GFRS demonstration yesterday. The Government claims this has been interpreted as GSD support for the GFRS’s pay claim.

Number Six says this support would cost tens of millions and questions how this is compatible with Roy Clinton’s claims of overspending on the public service.

It claims that if the claim were to be agreed it would have to be granted to every public service night shift worker and reiterates GFRS are fairly compensated for night shifts in all inclusive salaries.

It says the GSD needs to make up its mind and work out if it wants to be seen as a serious party of government again or whether it will continue to act like an amateurish group of charlatans who support any and all claims for more money whilst also pretending to be the ones that would control public finances.
