A newly-released report from the entity tasked with setting MPs' pay has recommended multiple pay rises over the coming three years.

The Remuneration Authority's recommendation would see the Prime Minister's salary incrementally go from $471,000 a year now, to $520,000 a year in July 2026.

ZB political correspondent Barry Soper says the perception is this is concerning, in light of recent cuts to the pay of medical workers.
