My sister is an economist for the Ontario government in Canada. She’s a public servant. Until last year the pay of Ontario public servants had been frozen – wait for it – for seven years. They got a small, one-time adjustment last year. And they’re frozen again. That’s in Canada’s largest province.
I start with that little sidenote because my wife and I woke this morning to the news Queensland’s 224,000 public servants (a number massively increased since Labor came back into office in the state in 2015) were set to receive a three per cent increase.
