ACCORDING to my information Victorian pollies' pay is in excess of $150,000 per annum, and more if you are Premier.
Paramedics' pay I can’t say, but I would imagine it's nowhere near that.
However, based on the work they do day in and day out, it should be comparable.
Napthine of all people should be aware of just how valuable our paramedics are and ensure they are well paid with good conditions as the front-line medics in Victoria.
I am surprised our Labor ministers are silent on this issue.
Anyone who has had life-threatening injury or illness will readily agree the sweetest sound is the siren and the caring, compassionate paramedics on the doorstep.
The whole issue is about "worth".
I’ll remember this at the next state election.
