We're losing staff like crazy. Vacancies have gone up by 70 percent because salaries fall further and further behind.

The good news is they haven't turned us down.

We're on our way to spend $37 million in overtime this year.

So they, too, are attracting our staff away.

We have heeded no wisdom offering guidance.

We have never yet had a labor Government that knew what taking power really means; they always act like second-class citizens.
