You may not know it, but NZ is a country struggling to keep teachers, doctors, nurses, in fact, any sort of specialist at all. We mainly struggle to keep them because the government doesn't pay them enough.
Now, it has been announced that the govenment has refused to take action over the shortage of medical personnal. And they also have declined a requested 2% pay rise for teachers.
The next thing really gets to me. The government has just announced a 5% pay rise for THEMSELVES (note: they already gave themselves a 7% pay rise last year) Already their salary average is $200,000 a year, while the average teachers salary is only $30,000 a year.
This is absurd. Do politicans think of no one but themselves?
Sorry for taking your time, I was just so annoyed at this I decided to come and post here. What do you think about it?
