- Description
A member of parliament is annoyed when he hears that MPs are to lose their travel perks but brightens when he realizes that they will get a pay rise to compensate. Context - Just before Christmas 2010, the Remuneration Authority, the independent body that sets politicians' pay, confirmed a 1.4 percent increase for their pay, backdated to July and a one-off $2000 payment to cover the reduced use of MPs' travel subsidy. The rise boosts Prime Minister John Key's salary to $400,500 and a backbencher's to $134,800. A further lump sum is also expected early this year after the travel perk was scrapped. Critics consider this greedy and insensitive at a time when many New Zealanders are struggling.
