Victorian deputy premier donating pay rise to charity

02/07/2024

Deputy Premier Ben Carroll has announced he will donate his 3.5% salary increase to UNICEF. An independent tribunal confirmed yesterday that Victorian politicians will receive their second pay rise in two years. This was at arms length of government. I personally will be donating the pay rise and I'll leave it at that. Premier Jacinta Allen will now take home close to half $1,000,000, while backbenchers will pocket just over 200,000.
