Queensland teachers have gathered in number outside Parliament House to protest against the State Government's latest pay offer
More than 500 teachers and other union members have rallied outside State Parliament to protest the LNP Government's 2.7 per cent pay offer.
The Queensland Teachers' Union led the noisy protest which could be heard inside the Legislative Chamber.
State secretary Graham Moloney told the crowd their fight "was the fight every public servant was fighting at the moment".
"This is a hellish time to get you together, last week of term, reports to be done, but we're glad you're here, well done," Mr Moloney said.
He said the 2.7 per cent on offer was in return for "trading off or at least putting in jeopardy everything that we've fought for over the last 18 years".
"Will you ever accept the government offer?" he asked the gathering.
"No," they replied.
"Good, we're going to fight."
He said the fight would be the "toughest in living memory" but they "would win in the end".
