  • Sky News host Paul Murray has called out the revelations that a speech writer for NDIS Minister Bill Shorten is being paid a two-year contract of $620,000.
    “The prime minister is paid $500,000 a year, a backbencher in the parliament above $200,000, minister above $300,000,” Mr Murray said.
    “Does anyone believe that a speech writer for a government department should be paid $300,000?”

    $300K per year for a Level 4 contractor to Government is dirt cheap. Defence were paying far more than that for a Level 2 contractor that had to be trained to do their job by a public servant. A public servant however would be far cheaper but that would bolster the Public Service and take revenue off the big companies supplying contractors to the Australian Government.
