      If they're in such a poor financial situation then they should be in paid work not volunteering.

          Why specify mothers, a majority of volunteers I see are elderly people but you seem to have an obsession with one specific demographic without reason. Even if you were to allow volunteering mothers as you say why don't we also provide volunteering fathers free entry?

    • OzJD on 28/01/2016 - 04:07

      They do offer it to some volunteers. Eg. SES.

      Also, many mothers that I know have jobs.

    • BigTed on 28/01/2016 - 01:12

      My thoughts exactly.
      It's hardly like Doctors are unsung local heroes slogging it out for minimum wage.
      That's not to say that they do not work hard, blah, blah, blah but do they really need freebies at Wet and Wild on top of all the freebies they get from drug reps et al?
      Personally I don't see why teachers deserve it either but that's just me.
      Cops - huh, they already get plenty of freebies (and that's just the legit ones).
      I'd much rather the unpaid vollies than paid workers get freebies.

      • jv on 28/01/2016 - 01:29

        Well said…

        True but nurses and similar do deserve it, they are often working double shifts at not much above minimum wage often in understaffed conditions and without much benefits. I think if you included all the others there it would be hard not to include Doctors.

        • jv on 28/01/2016 - 08:33
          +1

          true but nurses and similar do deserve it,

          Nurses are quite well paid. Well above the average wage.

          @jv:

          when I'm sick or dying in hospital, I hope the person looking after me is above average

        • jv on 28/01/2016 - 08:43

          @SBOB:

          Hopefully they will be trained and registered.

        • airzone on 28/01/2016 - 17:41

          @jv: My mum works in an ED.. The pay wouldn't motivate me when you get covered in a drunks spew, or chased around the ED by an ice addict tripping out, or ferals screaming and banging that their sniffle isn't being treated as a higher priority than someone having a heart attack. There's no security guards anymore (as the hospital budget has been slashed), so they have to wait for the cops to come.

          But her colleague got an unintentional benefit in having increased motivation to quit smoking when a patient she was working on drowned in his own blood after his lung cancer hemorrhaged.. Apparently it was the look of panic on his face that turned the trick.

          I'm just happy that there are people who are stupid enough to actually want to do this as a career. But I suppose people say that about IT too.

      • Gradesbrah on 28/01/2016 - 09:44

        In my opinion, a doctor who works in any of the public hospitals I have visited recently deserves the appreciation.

        Someone who works up to 16 hours with no break to make sure my loved one is okay, they deserve a free turn on a water slide. This goes for the nurses, paramedics, police and admin staff associated.

        @jv a majority of public health doctors are not making 300k base, not based on their award wages. And for the ones who are, 15+ years of studying to get to where they are is a hard thing to undermine.

        • jv on 28/01/2016 - 17:12

          @jv a majority of public health doctors are not making 300k base

      You missed "medical specialists". Everytime I go its about a 10 minute consult for $400.

      • jv on 28/01/2016 - 08:35

        Yes, they deserve free Wet&Wild tickets too…

        They'll probably charge a fee whilst waiting in the queue.

      Is it really about the money you make? I think the promotion was aimed towards what they view as high stress occupations.
