The country is in turmoil, I don't see that they have done anything to earn an increase!

how do politicians get a 12.5% increase when the working man (who keeps this country going) cannot even get a 3% increase over 3 yrs. Our politicians just had a pay rise 3 months ago. Talk about feather your own nest and forget the rest!! This is a prime example Not Happy Jan!!

Because politicians think they are better than us taxpayers and forget that we are the mugs that are paying for their huge undeserved salaries and unbelievably generous superannuation packages. They forget that it is THEY who are public servants, it is THEY who are supposed to be working for us! Politicians are reckless with opm (other people's money) - if they were put under the same scrutiny as other public servants, I seriously doubt their unrelenting inefficiency and tardiness would warrant any wage increase at all!
