Yes, but that is only because of the one off-2012 wages correction for politicians. Over the past 5 years parliamentary salaries have increased by an average 1.6 per cent per year compared to about 2.3 per cent for everyone else.

Take the post down, you've made an arseclown of yourself.
Dude, a 2012 payrise that your poor measly 1.6% has compounded on.
