I've been waiting to see what the Victorian Remuneration Tribunal comes up with for the politician's salary increase this year and it is still not released. Cutting it a bit fine as it is supposed to be implimented on 1/7.

I would support it if they decided to just put off deciding until next year and make them lose out on a pay rise altogether this year, and maybe next year too, so they can experience the situation most of the govt. employees are put in every 3-4 years when their EBA is up for review and the employer just refuses to negotiate. I really think the politician's wages should also be capped at whatever their policy for maximum pay rises in the public sector is.
