Hon David Parker, Attorney-General
Consistency with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990: Remuneration Authority (Members of Parliament Remuneration) Amendment Bill (No 2)
Authority’s discretion when determining the salaries of MPs, and to link the frequency of MP’s salary adjustments to the electoral cycle. The Bill amends the Members of Parliament (Remuneration and Services) Act 2013 to restore the requirement for the Remuneration Authority to consider the value of the personal benefit of entitlements when setting MP’s salaries. This will have the effect of repealing the 2018 freeze on the Remuneration Authority updating the salaries of MPs.
