Craig Kelly MP, the Independent Member for Hughes, has today called for all Politicians both Federal & State, and all Senior Government Bureaucrats to have their weekly salary reduced to $750 per week for as long as any lockdown continues in their State or Territory.

“If governments are going to continue to deny Australians the freedom to earn a living or prevent them from opening their businesses, and Politicians expect families to survive on $750 per week for an extended period, then Politicians and Senior Bureaucrats need to set an example and cut their salaries to the same $750” said Craig Kelly.

“If ‘we are all in this together’ as the marketing slogan goes, then we ALL need to be IN THIS TOGETHER, including financially.”

“Given that individuals and businesses have been given as little notice as at ‘midnight tonight’,  this pay cut, reducing weekly salaries for all Politicians and Senior Government Bureaucrats, should be made effective as of midnight tonight” said Craig Kelly.
