26 Police Officers who were injured 'on the job' are still being denied fair and reasonable compensation by the Chief Commissioner. These injured officers have fallen into a legal "Black Hole", as they were injured between November 1997, when the Kennett government removed an employee's right to sue an employer at common law for work-related injuries, and October 1999, the date the Bracks Government reinstated the law. The injuries affecting our members are far-ranging and include the physical, such as broken bones and injuries as a result of being shot at, and the psychological, such as post traumatic stress disorder.

In June 2006, then Police Minister, Tim Holding, announced that the Government was willing to pay the injured members upon the Cheif Commissioner's recommendation.

The Government has agreed to compensate these members, but the Cheif Commissioner still refuses to provide offers of fair and reasonable compensation.

The Police Association simply asks, "Why has the Chief Commissioner forgotten these brave members?"
