Senators vote themselves continued pay increases

75 aussie senators have just voted against a pay freeze until budget is in surplus.

this is irresponsible and greedy.

these are the irresponsible and greedy ones:

FOR:  Ex-Government Senator Cory Bernardi and Liberal Democrat David Leyonhjelm raised the surprise motion yesterday. The motion was supported by Cory Bernardi, David Leyonhjelm, fellow crossbenchers from the One Nation Party and Jacqui Lambie.

these are the ones who have acted responsibly and voted to keep their pay as it is until there is a budget surplus.

AGAINST: The Goverment, Labor and the Greens all voted against the motion.  Greens leader Richard Di Natale said that he was sympathetic to the intent of the proposal, but the Greens could not support the motion as it stands.

there is an article about this on the main page of this website.
