Perhaps they may now have some concept of their slashing of disability pensioners welfare or the miniscule amount carers are given .Doubt it though-it’s all about them as usual.

We should remember that parliamentarians’ remuneration is far more than the listed figures, due to very generous allowances, lurks and perks. It would be nice to hear exactly what MPs’ total “packages” are, rather than just their gross income in dollars.

And John Winston Howard? What is his current emolument (include estimates for gold passes etc) but without the talk circuit) please?

Perhaps they’d appreciate a “Sorry” statement as well.?

Richard Farmer neglects to include in his list of former Coalition Ministers “doing it tough” the highest paid former Minister, JWH. I guess he gets a tidy Parly pension, and the gold card, which probably keeps him level with Brendan Nelson. Any figures?
