And everyone else loses. They pay less, they get only candidates willing to work for that kind of pay, we get disengaged, unhappy police, good police move to where they can get paid, we get understaffed police.
- I find it a bit hard to track what made it from election promise to coalition agreement, but I'm pretty sure there was a promise to add 500 new police staff. Which will be hard if they can't attract anyone to the role.
  
  Yeah :(
