Public servants are getting a pay rise and now politicians are too. Between those groups, however, senior officers say they have been left behind – and they’re angry about it.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk would have decided whether MPs were in line for a pay rise this year, if not for a little-known enterprise bargaining agreement.
