Fix this textLong Service Leave Improvement
Fix this textA bill to remove the 12-months’
Fix this textlimit on the long service leave to
Fix this textwhich public servants, including
Fix this textteachers, are entitled was introduced
Fix this textinto the Legislative Assembly on
Fix this textApril 4.
Fix this textIn introducing the bill the Premier, Mr.
Fix this textCahill, said the present maximum was 12
Fix this textmonths after 40 years’ service. The bill
Fix this textwould remove from the relevant acts the
Fix this textprovision limiting to 40 years the.period of
Fix this textservice on which the leave accrues and
Fix this textwould allow an officer of the Public Service
Fix this textto earn long service leave for the total period
Fix this textof his or her service.
Fix this textMOTOR ALLOWANCE: BOARDS ASSURANCE
Fix this textIn April the Executive asked the
Fix this textPublic Service Board to increase the
Fix this textforage (motor) allowance to cover de-
Fix this textpreciation and repairs to cars travel-
Fix this textling over bad roads.
Fix this textThe Board was informed that the Feder-
Fix this textation had received reports from teachers in
Fix this textcountry areas concerning excessive amounts
Fix this textpaid for repairs due to damage caused by
Fix this texttravelling on flooded and extremely rough
Fix this textroads.
Fix this textThe Board in reply says that the allowance
Fix this textwas increased from September 1, 1956. It
Fix this textconsiders that the rate of allowance is satis-
Fix this textfactory, but is prepared to consider the
Fix this textclaims of any teachers who maintain that the
Fix this textrate of allowance is insufficient to meet the
Fix this textcost of using their vehicles.
Fix this textAny claim submitted should be supported
Fix this textby documentary evidence in the form of re-
Fix this textceipts, invoices, etc.
Fix this textPROTECTION OF TEACHERS FROM ASSAULT
Fix this text3 he Executive last month decided
Fix this textto inform the Minister that it is the
Fix this text. _ .
Fix this text.”7 P rotect
Fix this textits set v ants _rom assault and injury
Fix this textand that appropriate action should
Fix this textbe taken along these lines.
Fix this text~. , „ .
Fix this text, decision followed consideration of
Fix this textt le Minister s reply to former representations
Fix this textas reported in the issue of Apnl 10.
Fix this textl he Federation had asked that legislation
Fix this textbe initiated to provide special protection for
Fix this textteachers while on duty. Legislation of this
Fix this textnature is in force in Queensland.
Fix this textTo this recjuest the Minister stated, inter
Fix this textalia, that after examining the proposal he
Fix this texthad come to the view that “the teaching
Fix this textbody would stand to lose far more than it
Fix this textcould hope to gain from the introduction of
Fix this textlegislation which would set teachers in a
Fix this textspecial position in relation to both the com-
Fix this textmunity in general and other public ser-
Fix this textvants.”
