Cops meet to fight Federal Government’s OH&S laws
Police officers from around Australian will meet in Canberra today to
launch a national campaign against the Federal Government’s national
Occupational Health and Safety laws.
Police say the changes proposed by the government could lead to material
reductions in police safety and absolve the government of the responsibility
to provide police with the safest possible workplace.
“These are the people charged with protecting our communities – we can’t
have them going out onto the streets, putting their lives on the line, without
adequate protection for themselves and their families,” x said.
Police Federation of Australia CEO Mark Burgess and representatives of
state and territory police associations will be available for comment at
12.45pm
WHEN:
12.45pm, Monday 16 November
WHERE:
Hyatt Hotel
Commonwealth Avenue, Canberra
