Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk's salary is set to increase by almost $50,000 by mid-2025 as part of an 11 per cent pay rise over three years for Queensland politicians.

The determination by the Queensland Independent Remuneration Tribunal (QIRT) means all 93 members of state parliament will receive the following three salary increases:

three per cent from July 2023 (to be back-paid)

four per cent from July 2024

three per cent from July 2025

Woo. Rich pointless pen pushers get more money. Only thing we need less of are oligarchs

A $500k salary is nice, but it's not oligarch level. The CEO of any major company is going to be 5x that at least. Even those people are still working for a living.

500k is her salary? For what exactly? Nobody is worth more than 100. Unless you are curing cancer or putting people on the moon. Gross
