THE Newman Government has revealed salary increases equating to as much as double that of previously estimated figures by the Queensland Premier, according to Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk.
Ms Palaszczuk said the true rate of the pay rise had been revealed in the Member’s Entitlement Handbook posted online this week which showed the Premier’s salary alone would go from $280,000 to more than $398,000.
Ms Palaszczuk said the Deputy Premier would now receive another $100,000 and ministers’ salaries will increase by more than $90,000.
Member for Southern Downs and Health Minister Lawrence Springborg also stands to receive a significantly increased wage.
