The union representing Police says the minister needs to do more to support officers.

It comes after the Police Association dubbed the Government's latest pay offer as "insulting".

They rejected the government’s offer in September 2023, and were presented with the same offer on Friday, which due to the amount of time passed, is now worth about $2000 less.

President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking that Police Minister Mark Mitchell, a former officer himself, is putting extra work on them, so needs to pay up.

He says while Mitchell is a good advocate for Police, he campaigned on law and order so now needs to compensate them.
