The Greens stand with Tasmanian teachers and support staff in their rejection of the Rockliff Government’s latest pay offer.
Our educators, and the students whose lives they enrich and expand, deserve better.
School communities across the island are paying the price for a government that has lost its way; a government that prioritises a new stadium over our children’s education.
It’s outrageous the government is focussed on cuts while teachers have unsafe workloads and school violence is rising, and school support staff are paid substantially less than their mainland counterparts.
We are all the poorer for the Liberals’ political choices.
The Premier, a former Education Minister, needs to step up and make sure teachers and support staff are offered the fair pay and conditions they, and Tasmanian students, deserve.
