Australia’s politicians are some of the highest paid in the world, and Victoria’s political leaders have just been handed another pay rise by an independent tribunal.
Premier Daniel Andrews, already the country’s best-remunerated state leader, will now take home around $481,190 per year, including personal allowances, after a decision on Tuesday by the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal to give state MPs a 3.5 per cent pay rise from July 1.
