How is [Aussie politicians giving themselves a huge pay rise] associated with them representing Australian civ?

How is [Aussie politicians giving themselves a huge pay rise] associated with them representing Australian citizens?

People are struggling and now have to pay them a massive increase on top of their already disgustingly high salary. Some get well over $100 000 increase!!!!

How can this be justified?

These people go on and on and on and on and on and on... and on about that their primary goal is to represent Australian civilians, yet all they seem to be interested in is robbing people of both freedom and money so they can feather their own nests.

Also, if they (politicians) are fully aware that around 35 % of the population can no longer pay their bills, then surely increasing rates, adding new taxes, new mandatory fees for new bogus mandatory regulations / registrations for everything including the kitchen sink, handing out fines like handing out candy, etc etc are just actions we would expect from criminal thugs.

So can anyone please explain how these people are representing the average Aussie?

    youll be further amused by the arguments that politicians should be payed even more

    curiously .. its generally an argument touted by the right

    reasoning goes along the same line as to why CEOs are justified in being paid $10 million a year in many cases

    you have to offer the big bucks to get the best people

    to my mind thats a very simplistic argument when speaking about "public office"

    certainly quality operators are desired

    but much more important is that the people who stand in politics should have a genuine selfless desire to make a difference
