So nice try at rewriting history Mt8… but I produce evidence. 🤣
Evidence of more rubbish
 
Nope, the governor was kicked to touch by an interfering ruling government who didn't like it when he pushed back. There's more to come there
Ummm… they didn’t interfere, it was all over the funding for the reserve bank and he had an unprofessional hissy fit…

Left losing more credibility trying to create negativity with misinformation, as usual.

Evidence: resigned over FUNDING:

 
You don’t seriously believe the average pay for senior doctors & dentists is nearly $1m do you?
Surely you don't believe the doctors might be misleading us when they say that their pay raise wouldn't cover inflation?

$160,000,000 pay offer/5,500 senior doctors and dentists = $29,029 average pay increase. This means that for them to offered an average of $29,090 PA, at 3% inflation, they are on an average of just under $970,000 PA. If the average they were on was $750,000 PA, then they are working out at an inflation figure of just under 4% to get an average increase of $29,090... since they say they're effectively taking a pay cut when you consider what has been offered to inflation.

Go down to the average being $500,000 PA, and that works out it 5.8% inflation (29,029/500,000 x 100 = 5.8%).

Go down to the average being $250,000 PA and that works out at 11.6% inflation (29,029/250,000 x 100 = 11.6%).

Go down to the average being $200,000 PA and that works out at 14.5% inflation.

So, if they think they are "right" with what they're saying, it's good they decided to become doctors and dentists and not accountants or economists!!!

You're also forgetting that the SMO's also includes surgeons, cardiologists, neurosurgeons, oncologists etc. It's not the "senior doctor" on the ward... these are the top specialists in their fields.

Yeah I know the calcs, although won’t be 12 months, but they’ve got the numbers wrong somewhere, my guess would be the time the $160m funding increase is spent over - mentions 16 months but must be a lot longer than that. Same articles mentioning average senior pay is ~$350k which the industry is saying overstates their pay.

Apparently, the sixteen months is for the time they've been negotiating... if the offer had been accepted earlier, inflation would not be so much of an issue. Even then, inflation for the last 18 months (16 months doesn't seem to be readily available) is 3.65%, figures from tradingeconomics.com via Copilot.

Also, the highest band for a junior doctor is Registrar PGY7-10 (advanced training) who are on between $180,000-247,000 PA while a first year specialist is on $200,000 (because they're PGY8) and a specialist is on $345,000 after year 3 and the skies the limit after that.
