Remuneration Authority (Members of Parliament Remuneration) Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This Bill is an omnibus Bill. It amends the Remuneration Authority Act 1977 to provide a sole criterion for the Remuneration Authority to consider when reviewing the remuneration of members of Parliament. It also amends the Members of Parliament (Remuneration and Services) Act 2013 to make amendments to the basis on which assessments of personal benefit are taken into account by the Remuneration Authority.
