Did you all just get a pay rise?
Dear Department of Parliamentary Services,
Did the politicians all just get a pay rise recently? If so, what for?
Just reminding you that half of Australia lives in poverty. Did the politicians really just get a pay rise?
Can I see paperwork of these pay rises and how the pay rises were calculated and what duties the pay rises relate to.
Thankyou
Yours faithfully,
Lauren Ainslie

Dear Ms Ainslie
We refer to your email, in which you made a request to the Department of
Parliamentary Services (DPS) for access to documents and information
relating to politicians receiving pay rises.
We are writing to advise that DPS does not have a role in determining
politicians’ remuneration.
If it is of assistance, the Remuneration Tribunal is the independent
statutory body that determines, reports on or provides advice about
remuneration of federal parliamentarians, including ministers and
parliamentary office holders: [1]https://www.remtribunal.gov.au/
