Government Miscalculates Governor General's Salary
This Government is spending money recklessly, treating it as if it were mere monopoly money. This is partly because of their reliance on career bureaucrats for advice, individuals who have enjoyed very high incomes within the Canberra bubble for so long that money has lost its value to them.
They are probably surprised by the public's outraged reaction to their decision to raise the Governor General's salary from $495,000 to $719,000.
Such a large salary increase in the middle of a cost of living crisis showed a severe lack of awareness. Canberra bureaucrats aren't experiencing the cost of living pain felt by the broader population, as they are insulated by their excessively hire salaries.
Rather than meeting the public outcry with a mea culpa and reducing the salary, Minister Gallagher huffed and puffed. She failed to grasp simple maths (an increase from $495,000 to $719,000 is a 43.2% rise), conflagrated the situation by raising the previous Governor General's military pension and then accused me of misleading Parliament.
In truth, the Government and their bureaucrats were just looking after a mate and got called out for it.
