- Description
'The Politician' cartoon strip. Two reporters express indignation that the public has been asked to show restraint when politicians have given themselves a 1.4% pay rise. The minister replies that they are showing restraint by not asking for double that. The Remuneration Authority decided on a 1.4 per cent rise backdated to July and a one-off payment of $2000 to cover the decreased use of MPs' travel subsidy. The rise boosts Mr Key's salary to $400,500 and a backbencher's to $134,800. The authority also signalled a further lump-sum payment was likely in the new year after the travel perk was scrapped.
