Our Members of Parliament are getting a payrise.
John Key’s getting a 9 and a half thousand dollar increase – so he’ll now earn 428 thousand five hundred dollar. David Cunliffe as Opposition Leader will now take home an extra 5 thousand 800 - while back bench MP’s will take home 3 and half thousand more each year.
Do they deserve it?
With Marcus Lush now is Jordan Williams - who’s Executive Director of the Taxpayers Union.
