OZschwitz: Parasitical public servants in line for $100,000 pay rise and that's on top of their $500,000-a-year salaries

HEADS of federal government departments should earn an extra $50,000 to $100,000 on top of their $500,000-a-year salaries, the Remuneration Tribunal suggests, as the public service prepares to shake up the way it provides the government with top-level policy advice.

The tribunal said yesterday the secretaries of major departments such as Prime Minister and Cabinet and Treasury should move to salaries ''substantially above'' their existing total annual pay of $503,220.

It will make an exact pay recommendation later in the year, but said it was ''evident'' the responsibilities of departmental heads ''extend beyond'' those in charge of other government economic agencies, many of whom are paid $545,730 and one of whom - the chairman of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority - earns $621,230 a year.
