20 NSW sheriffs protested low pay and staffing shortages, staging a walk-off outside the Newcastle courthouse.
New South Wales sheriffs protested poor pay and staffing shortages, with more than 20 officers staging a two-hour walk-off outside the Newcastle courthouse. The Public Service Association reported sheriffs in NSW earn between $64,000 and $76,000 per year, with the Department of Communities and Justice offering a 10.5% pay rise over three years. However, the union is continuing negotiations, seeking a larger increase due to the dangerous nature of the work.
