Federal parliamentarians in Australia received a 2.4% salary increase that took effect on July 1, 2025. This followed a 3.5% pay rise implemented on July 1, 2024, and a 4% increase in 2023.

The independent Remuneration Tribunal sets these annual adjustments, using factors like public sector wage trends and inflation.

5 thought on “Albanese scores extra $57k since moving into Lodge in 2022”
  1. One law for thee, but not for me! They keep filling the trough.

  2. Ha, ha
    Moronic Teals party now voting against the budget because they are all rich, now they are sorry they were used to shift the balance of power to ALP, and used they were. They should have formed the Pink Party instead and gone after ALP seats, they could have used “Barbie” for their leader and probably got just as many votes. Look at WEF YGL Andrew Charlton’s ALP seat of Paramatta, it’s there for the taking, just get a brownish currymuncher sort of lady age about 27 should romp it in for the pink party. Charlton has scammed millions flogging his crap software to government via 3rd party arrangements from memory.
    The answer to all the problems is always the same, wall off Canberra, don’t let them in or out, cut off communications, cut off finance. As Orange Party stalwart Malcolm Roberts said in the senate, “we have cells downstairs, it’s time we used them”.
    We will all be much better off.
    Now we have WEF YGL Andrew Bragg going in the background, he should call himself Blagg as he blaggs on about his populist angles, get rid of him too, nobody needs these Swissy exports “infiltrating the cabinets” ( Klaus Swab’s words )
    Shut up Blagg you are yesterday’s man, pissing on about the CO2 menace, you are a dolt.

  3. Hey folks,
    .
    Just a passing thought here – did YOU “vote” to give that walking talking Pig’s Arse aka AnAL and his herd of baby-eating piglets a big fat PAY RISE at the communal bottomless trough of taxpayer money, beaten mercilessly out of OUR hides?
    .
    That would seem to be the assumed mechanics of the situation, wouldn’t it? That would be how things worked if THEY worked for US, right?
    .
    Wrong.
    .
    You’re not a stakeholder and you’re not a shareholder, you have no say whatsoever in ANYTHING. Period.
    .
    Because they DO NOT work for us, and they don’t answer to us.
    .
    Surprise.

  4. Yeah that’s right folks,

    And all of this while tens of thousands of Australians are living in their cars and under bridges, and hundreds of thousands are rotting in early graves from just the last five years, while our self-annointed rulers IMPORT MILLIONS of Third World immigrants to REPLACE us year after year after year. All of it DELIBERATE, all of it being done ON PURPOSE, all of it IMPOSED with neither the consultation nor consent of the Australian people.

    And all according to the PLAN, folks, these Treasonous foreign-owned CORPORATE sold-out paid-off completely remorseless and utterly UNTOUCHABLE mongrel arsehole bastards are dismantling and demolishing what we THOUGHT was our country, what used to be the egalitarian land of opportunity aka Australia, on the LOCKSTEP orders of their baby-eating owners and Masters.

    And just to remind us who calls the shots, just to let us know where we all stand, just to rub some more salt into the wound, these egregious perfidious craven Australia-hating baby-eating psychopathic ARSEHOLES award themselves a big fat eye-bleeding PAY RISE bigger than any Useless Eater could ever hope to see in their short & sorry downtrodden lifetimes, each year, EVERY year FOREVER.

    Because after all, why stop now?
