We need more Police numbers on the Street Level to ensure the peace and safety of the general public and we need more Teachers numbers in the schools to ensure our youth are fully educated so that they become good citizens.

Why is it that within Australian Society our Sports People, who only play a game on weekends or for a limited season, are paid astronomical wages and given more accoclades than the real, often unsung, heroes of our communities, Police, Teachers, Fireman, Nurses and Doctors.In order to achieve such things we need to ensure that we pay them a good wage and good working conditions so that more of our citizens want to become a Police Officer or a Teacher.

Even the politicians receive more money and benefits for their often useless political rhetoric and posturing than our real community heroes: Police, Teachers, Fireman, Nurses and Doctors.
