Jason Walls: Newstalk ZB Political Editor on MPs being granted a pay rise
Manage episode 415530770 series 2098280
It's looking like an MP pay rise is going ahead this time around.
The Remuneration Authority's set to increase salaries 2.8% backdated to October, followed by further increases out to 2026.
Ministers inside Cabinet will take home just over $304k a year and those outside Cabinet, nearly $257k.
Newstalk ZB Political Editor Jason Walls told Mike Hosking there hasn't been a pay rise since 2017 - because Parliament can overrule it.
He says the last time MPs were in line for a pay rise, former Prime Minister Dame Jacinda Ardern decided to freeze salaries due to the cost of living at the time.
