Victoria Police reveal speed camera locations amid industrial action

Victoria Police have revealed the location of revenue-raising speed cameras to drivers amid an ongoing pay dispute with the state government.

The industrial action kicked off today after the union and Victoria Police failed to reach an agreement on pay and improved working conditions.

Although police can't strike, they are warning drivers about speed cameras in an effort to block revenue from being generated for the government in the form of fines.

Just after 7am today, officers began parking police cars and flashing their lights at some fixed speed cameras.

They also chanted slogans like: "We can't turn out if we burn out."

Police Association of Victoria secretary Wayne Gatt is demanding ministers and policymakers enter negotiations directly.

"It's not something that they want to do but they're forced to do it, to wake the government up and get them here to solve this dispute," he said.

The union has been locked in five months of negotiations with Industrial Relations Victoria over a new enterprise agreement for a four per cent pay rise and shorter nine-hour shifts.

But Premier Jacinta Allan has maintained she won't intervene in the deadlock.

"We've got Industrial Relations Victoria at the table, negotiations are ongoing," she said.

"It's really important to let those negotiations continue at the table rather than cut across it via the media."

As part of the industrial action, police will stop presenting briefings and reports to government officials and campaign messages will be painted on police cars, boats, trucks and helicopters parked near government premises.

Gatt said officers is hoping for more public support.

"The reality is you can't do this by passing notes to someone else to pass notes to us," he said.

"It can't be a negotiation if the other side doesn't turn up."
