really good to hear QLD doing so well
Jan 18^th, 2016 at 7:36am

Opposition Leader Lawrence Springborg said the tribunal was right to take into account Queensland's "softening and weakening economic position" when deciding on the increase.
"We've got an independent remuneration tribunal that's clearly looked at the facts and indicated a pay rise that they believe is able to be delivered in worsening economic circumstances," Mr Springborg said.

Roll Eyes

it must be comforting for all those who are losing their jobs in the mining sector in Qld to know their very own Premier is earning more than quite a few P.Ministers... shes worth it though I am sure.

It's okay - she does it under close supervision.

Then boot her out and put that nice person Springborg and his band of monkeys in. Another sour thread from the jealous right. I notice the LNP aren't marching in the streets protesting against her pay rise. Wonder why?

from the same article:

"The former Liberal National Party set up an independent tribunal to oversee the process, after it came under fire for awarding MPs a generous pay rise in 2013.
Protests also met the new panel's decision in March 2014 to award senior politicians massive pay rises,

including a $67,000 top-up to then-premier Campbell Newman's salary, putting him on almost $380,000 a year."

You libs should stop pullin your pud and look at all things mentioned in an article - it makes you look silly when your own side is just as guilty as far as being in the politicians trough

funny how no one mentioned Western Australia Cheesy

QLD and WA were mining dependent, with the decline in commodities, they are both going to suffer. The fact that WA was suffering long before the decline in commodities has probably escaped you all Cheesy

so you dont think its strange that Premiers and their entourage get great pay increases....

when things are on the decline..

isnt that like CEOs getting bonuses even though the company lost millions????>.. Roll Eyes

as long as you think you are getting value for money...good luck with that.

Qld is going to suffer worse than WA I am afraid. Iron ore prices will recover but not coal, hence the rush to open stupid coal mines like the one on the Liverpool plains. Dig it up and flog it off while it is still marginally profitable and never mind the longer term consequence, like a rooted formerly prime agricultural region.

Qld better hope they strike CSG in a big way. Or they could look to secondary and teritary industry: the Smart State, etc.

Just a quick question, if iron is going to recover and used to make steel and as every semi-literate child knows that coking coal is also used to make steel, why won't the QLD mines that supply 50% of the world'c coking coal recover?

Or are you hoping that every one reading this is as ignorant about this tiny but significant fact as you?

With wages growth at record lows they like the rest of us should be getting very little in the way of any rise.

Aren't the ALP supposed to be the working man's party? What a hypocritical bunch of tossers.
