The party added pledge to policy this morning, promising to restrict the number of vape stores. Last night's poll suggests people are looking for the party to offer up bigger fish to fry
Sorry, did I read this right? Senior docs and dentists are striking because their average salary is *only* $318,000pa!?! How TF are they worth so much more than nurses and why aren’t they giving their massive pay rises to them?
I don't have a problem with how much they are paid, as after a certain amount that becomes just a 'token of esteem', and a lot of executives get paid a lot more for 'work' that is entirely parasitic. What I do have an issue with is how little they are taxed on it, since accumulated wealth (and the expectation of high returns on its investment) is the 'ball and chain' that's dragging the world to hell.
Slightly off-topic: Unfortunately, a lot of high achievers in the medical profession are basically on the narcissist/psychopath spectrum- I think you have to be to thrive with all that tragedy, death and gore. Anecdotally, I have known two people whose parents were both surgeons and they were both very damaged by parental expectations. What I'm saying is; don't expect these individuals to be anything other than extremely self-centred.

Fair! Also the difference in personality between the typical “senior doctor” or surgeon and a nurse.
