Let's be clear: under Natasha Brown and Christian Hagivassilis, the PSA is shrinking—and they're still trying to spin it as growth.

While members face restructures, rising workloads, and wage restraint, Natasha and Christian have let union membership steadily fall—and rewarded themselves at the top.

This isn't just disappointing.

It's a failure of leadership.

MEMBERSHIP FREEFALL — NO, THIS IS NOT "GROWTH"

Above: PSA records showing the rapid decline in members. Click through to see the documents.

2020: 10,188
2021: 9,825
2022: 9,451
2023: 8,695
2024 (election declaration): 8,386

That's a drop of nearly 2,000 members in one term under Natasha and Christian's leadership.

Yet they continue to claim growth—a claim that is flatly false. The numbers do not lie.

There is no growth trend. They haven't even managed to hold the line. The PSA is bleeding members, and there's no accountability for the decline and no strategy to stop the fall.

That should alarm every member.

Fewer members means weaker bargaining power, fewer active delegates, and a union less able to stand up for you when it matters most.

AND YET — A 12% PAY RISE AT THE TOP

2021: $219,553 
2022: $182,904 (a temporary year with an acting arrangement) 
2023: $252,133 
2024: $249,328

Let's be real: if you remove the 2022 dip—when the Assistant General Secretary acted up—the General Secretary pay has jumped from $219,553 to $249,328 in just two years.

That's a 12% increase.

That's more than $29,000 extra in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis.
