Choosing not to continue working in crap conditions for shit money nearly 40 police officers have headed to jobs in Australia’s Northern Territory, after a recruitment drive.
Officers can receive up to A$125,000 (NZ$137,000) pre-tax, and A$1000 for every overtime shift.
First year constables in the Northern Territory earn a salary of $111,000, compared to $83,000 here – the salary quoted on the new cops website in New Zealand.
They also can receive significant housing benefits – with the option to either have a house provided by the Northern Territory force, or receive a housing allowance of A$31,791 per year.
