MPs Don’t Deserve Pay Rise

The Taxpayers’ Union today slammed the announcements that MPs will receive a pay rise estimated to be at least $3,500 per MP, back dated to July.

“Backdating the pay rise is a slap in the face to taxpayers who will be feeling the pinch of the coming Christmas season,” says Jordan Williams, Executive Director of the Taxpayers’ Union.

“Until MPs can get the house in order, and the Government back into surplus, politicians should not be borrowing more money to line their own pockets.”
