The Queensland premier is set to receive a pay rise of nearly $50,000 by 2025, while the opposition leader's salary will rise by more than $30,000 in that time.

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

      To be fair they deserve it alot more than CEOs and making politicians comfortable should cause them to be less suspectible to corruption

      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.
