Why has Albo given the GC a 200k pay rise?
Jul 28th, 2024 at 7:11pm
 
700 K for Albo mate to attend tea parties on behalf of the king?

I'm not saying his out of touch I'm saying his unelectable?

How can you give someone a 200k pay rise in this cost of living crisis ATM to be a figure head of British rule ( while she's a Republican) just don't past any test.

Hoping to hear the Labor faithful defend this ?

That's peanuts, the sovereign gets a dollar, 60million of them. Yanks love their royals.

Can you elaborate?

What's a GC?

Who's getting this pay rise?

What is their current salary?

Sorry I'm obtuse

More details without my commentary


https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-10/sam-mostyn-governor-general-viceregal-dra...

A question I also put forward as the GC is the kings person in Australia to protect great Britain interest.

Why are the Australian taxpayer paying her wage at all?

She works exclusively for one of the three riches people in the world.

Why shouldn't the monarchy pay her wages rather than the average Australian ?

A governor cheneral, Gregg.... something we don't need and especially when it's just a cushy job for an old mate as reward for sticking to the party line and whatever else is needed... standing behind the barricades on all The Causes will get you a good gig.... question is always - are you worth it in any way?

This is the worst 'captain's call' in the history of giving a mate a job ....  FFS.... I'd support women's and other lies if they paid me that much... actually - no I wouldn't.... the last boy scout.....  wanna hear me scream?  Tie me up and make me watch Olympic Rap Dancing...

The GG ruled Virgin Australia, a female employer and religious order. Vestal Virgins perform a celebration at the Temple of Hera,
who was Governor General for Zeus, and carry the Olympic Torch.  Hera was his wife and sister of incest in the gay environment. Equal pay for women gives Canberra MPs an obscene amount and they pass the buck to the GG.

That's "GG" not "GC" .. whatever that is? Grin

That aside - the pay rise is ridiculous... like most things Albanese does.

The salary of the GG is set by the Governer general act on 1974, and not by Albo.

It takes into account any existing pensions owing, which the previous GG Hurley had, and which Sam Mostyn does not. Hence the 'pay rise'. It has nothing to do with Albo.

So Albo lacks the ability to put forward legislation changing the act from 1974?

Isn't that actually his job?

To create laws?

The Government has introduced legislation to increase the salary of the Governor-General from $495,000 to $709,017.
This changes s3 of the Governor General Act.

GOVERNOR-GENERAL ACT 1974 - SECT 4AH
Allowance Orders
(1)  The Minister may, by legislative instrument, make Allowance Orders providing for matters:

(a)  required or permitted by this Act to be provided.

As an Australian appointed by Australians, the GG accepts whatever comes along and will be stuck with the 700,000 bucks.

Any MP can put forward legislation to change the act. You can just as easily blame Mr Potatoe head or Bob katter as you can Albo.

What about Fraser, Howard, Abbott, Turnbull, or Morrison?

There is no British monarchy as Charles is only king of Oz for the GG.  In 1973 the English monarchy was sacked:
'Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of Australia and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth'.  Centrelink doesn't even pay Charles pension.

'Governor-General Legislation Amendment Act 2001
(Circulated by authority of the Prime Minister, the Hon J W Howard MP)
Section 3 of the Governor-General Act 1974 provides that the annual sum payable for the salary of the Governor-General shall be $58,000.
Item 1 omits the annual sum of $58,000 and substitutes a new annual sum of $310,000'.

That's over 500% for rent, electricity and cat food.

All Governor Generals have been very wealthy people and are provided with a residence and servants as part of their benefits which means the total cost of the Governor General and its associates and benefits is likely over $2 million a year.

It appears that the concept of voluntary unpaid community service only applies to poor people.
