The way to solve this is to give all the pollies a pay rise.
I'm serious!
BUT after that, all "family" t(rips) are to be paid for out of the pollies' pockets.
Just watch as they suddenly become very austere in their spending!
That's genius Nemo
I love to hear your positivity and solutions!
I find this whole matter very depressing and only removing any of slightest hope I had our government actually cares about the Australian people
I will politely suggest my own solution.
1st, being a politician comes with travel.
If that doesn’t suit you or your family lifestyle needs, run right along and get another job.
Don’t stand for election and then complain how horrible a job it is!9
You will be replaced in seconds and never missed.
The door will not hit you on your way out!
2nd , some very basic time management skills and priorities.
Yes you sign off on massive amount of money to support the AFL, NRL, the Olympic Games or whatever.
Your job is done.
There is no need to take four days off work to attend a n event for no other reason than it’s a photo opportunity for your own ego.
In fact given your paid 400k a year I would expect you should be doing something much more productive for the country than laying around on the ground throwing confetti in the air.
Perhaps google professional behaviour?
3, politicians wages should be indexed directly to average Australians wage.
Despite what they believe they aren’t rockstars nor media stars.
They are equally too boring and ugly to even be considered in the same light.
By fixing their wages too the average income will immediately see them suddenly focus on working Australians in that wage bracket and watch how quickly the wage increases.
4, there unbelievable pensions should again be linked to every other Australians.
It should be means tested in other words.
If they retire and earn outside the amount every other retired person is punished by.
So should they.
Watch how quickly people on a pension will suddenly be able to work and not have their pensions wiped.
There outrageous political pension should be directly linked to a KPI .
If the living standards in Australia improve by the world index then they should automatically receive a higher pension.
If how ever the living standards in Australia decline then there pension should as well.
They made the decisions that cause either the rise or fall!
5 and final.
I find it disgusting that it’s suggested we must pay our politicians more in the hope it might deter them from corruption.
Really?
You are actually electing/ employing people and feeling that you must pay them more in the very vainl hope that they may then act honestly and with integrity?
Omg, Australia, stop and think about what we have become.
Another solution would also be mandatory sentencing for a convicted politician.
30 years regardless the offence and all assets confiscated by the state and sold.
In conclusion I honestly believe if you need to be paid more to not be a criminal in your job and if your only interest in being a leader of our nation is to take as much money as you can possibly get.
You’re unfit for office.
The people we need leading Australia are the people who would happily do it for free as a service to both our country and their fellow citizens.
Seriously serving the people of Australia is a privilege .
If you think you’re not paid enough for the privilege to be our servant.
Leave!
If your primary goal is to create generational wealth for your family and have a great time at the taxpayers expense.
Be gone
