Arbitrator rules in favour in govt in police pay dispute

Police will be getting a $1500 lump sum payment, a flat $5000 pay increase plus another four percent increase in July and again in 2025. There will also be a 5.25% increase in allowances backdated to November. The Police Association said it is disappointed with the ruling, which means they've fallen behind nurses and teachers, and it doesn't fully reflect the cost of living. Police Minister Mark Mitchell speaks to Susana Lei'ataua.
