I have just read that Qld Politicians will recive massive pay increases. Can't do Newman gets an additional $70,000.-
Now if that is not utterly immoral then what is. Most people whose life these politicians "govern" don't earn that much in a year yet most of them do work which is vital but not considered so by the elite.
I have come to the conclusion that the ALP needed to go & now it's Newman's turn. He is failing this state miserably.

QLD with a 80 billion debt you would think they would be a little more restrained. Besides losing population they they are on track for far more debt in the next few years.

70,000..is..30 pieces of silver
3 MILLION QLD'ERS..BLED DRY BY THE PUBIC SERVICE/WHO TOO GET A NICE PRORATA PAY INCREASE[THESE PEople do treason..any season]..and there is nuthin you few can do/dont GET ANGRY GET EVEN...PUT A LIEN ON THEIR ASSETS[PRoceeds of crime]..when ever 3 or more are seen in company sEND IN THE CIVIL POLICE FORCES...UNDER COMMON AW THEIR CRIMINAL[By their own constitution their colluding to deceive.

All I can say is that as one of his most staunch supporters in the far North I feel simply shafted by Newman's approach. I dearly do not wish the ALP back until by some genetic quirk they get some sense bred into them over the next few generations but the way this outfit is going isn't at all encouraging. Perhaps big Clive has more to offer in the field of fairness & integrity.

No integrity to be had, he is going to sell the state now. Big Joe wants it in a hurry, so he can cook the books and tell everyone how much they have to spend, before any sales take place. Now that is very smart.

While I agree the increases are excessive, don't forget it is an independent tribunal, just like the one that sets award wages, that sets the pollies salary.

I think the pollies salary is tied to that of judges, from memory. That being the case, it is probable the rise for MPs is incidental to giving our legal eagles more money. Where is the outcry that judges are overpaid by a greater factor than the MPs.

If the government wants to cut expenditure, & god knows they have to, I guess it is reasonable for them to cut this rise to something acceptable to the voters. For me it is more important to cut the cost of judges, there are a lot more of them to pay with these huge rises.
