Dear Department of Parliamentary Services,

Was there a pay increase, the biggest yet, for politicians recently?

I checked statistics on average wages and social services payments and neither have increased.

I can’t imagine there would be only a pay increase for the already wealthy and nothing given to the citizens who make this country work.

So I want to know is it a fact that politicians just got the biggest pay rise in history?

Yours faithfully,

Lauren Ainslie

Dear Ms Ainslie

Thank you for your email.

As advised in response to an information request sent by on 25 July 2023, the Department of Parliamentary Services (DPS) does not have a role in determining politicians+IBk- remuneration.

The Remuneration Tribunal is the independent statutory body that determines, reports on and provides advice about the remuneration of federal parliamentarians, including ministers and parliamentary office holders: https://www.remtribunal.gov.au/

As such, DPS is unable to assist further with your request for information.

Kind regards
