Geoff Summers: Remuneration Authority chair on Prime Minister Luxon's pay increase
Manage episode 415404989 series 2098282
The Remuneration Authority says the Prime Minister's pay increase is fair.
Chris Luxon's turned down the $50,000 salary boost over three years, and promises to donate it to charity.
Chair Geoff Summers says a lot of work's gone into determining the figure - including job comparisons.
He says our MP pay is relatively low internationally.
"It's behind most other Westminster democracies - we had a good look at that, the tables are in the report. They're even behind most of the state MPs in Australia, except for Tasmania."
Chris Luxon's salary would riss from $471,000 to $520,000 in 2026.
Normal MPs' 163-thousand-dollar pay packets would rise to $181,000.
