Until all low paid workers (mostly women!) get a 43% pay rise, the Governor-General shouldn’t
The Government wants to increase the Governor-General’s salary from $495k to $709k.
Whilst the Greens strongly believe we should be a republic, if we must have a Governor-General, Sam Mostyn is an inspired choice. However, we will oppose the Governor-General payrise Bill and move amendments in the Senate for wage increases for all low paid workers. And for Australia to be a Republic!
The Government say this is just about convention. Well, just because it is convention doesn’t make it right. This bill proposes an egregiously large increase in salary that we can’t in good conscience support. Without this bill, the incoming GG will still be paid $495,000.
We’re fighting for you, but we need your support. The major parties take millions in donations from big corporations, but we have you.
