Dear Gerrard, Will some Ministers’ salary go up instead of being lowered?

[Confuseous]

Similarly, based on the maximum bonus of 26.5 months for parliamentary secretaries, the total pay of $553,850 ($418,000 divided by 20 times 26.5 months), would result in a pay increase of 20 per cent ($553,850 divided by 2010 total annual salary of $459,800) and 5 per cent (with imputed pension). This is in contrast to the reduction of 9 per cent and 21 per cent (with imputed pension) respectively, using the 20 months’ average pay example in the report.
