(1) The basic
salary payable to a member of Parliament for a particular year is the
sum of—
(a) the amount of the common allowance for the particular year;
and
(b) salary of an amount
fixed by a determination of the Remuneration Tribunal that is in force (being a
determination made for the purposes of this paragraph).
(2) The Remuneration Tribunal must, at least once in each 12 month
period, review the basic salary payable to members of Parliament in accordance
with this section and may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, determine to
increase the salary amount fixed for the purposes of
subsection (1)(b)
by a specified amount.
(3) Any determination
as to salary made by the Remuneration Tribunal for the purposes of
subsection (1)(b)
is of no force or effect unless and until a regulation is made confirming
the determination.
(4) A regulation referred to in
subsection (3)
may not come into operation until the time for disallowance under the
Subordinate
Legislation Act 1978
has passed.
(5) For the avoidance of doubt, if a regulation confirming a determination
of the Remuneration Tribunal is disallowed—
(a) the determination will be taken to be of no force or effect;
and
(b) if the disallowed regulation revoked a regulation confirming a
previous determination of the Remuneration Tribunal, that revoked regulation and
the determination of the Remuneration Tribunal that it confirmed are revived and
are taken to be in force for the purposes of this section.
Schedule 1—Transitional
provision
1—Deemed
initial salary determination
(1) The amount that is, immediately before the commencement of this Act,
payable to a member of Parliament as the salary component of the member's basic
salary is, on the commencement of this Act, to be deemed to be the component of
the basic salary payable to members of Parliament in accordance with
section 4AB(1)(b) of the
Parliamentary
Remuneration Act 1990
as in force after the commencement of this Act (and may, for the purposes
of section 4AB, be treated as if it were an amount fixed by a determination
of the Remuneration Tribunal that is in force).
(2) In this clause—
salary component of a member's basic salary means the
component of the basic salary, payable in accordance with section 4AB of
the
Parliamentary
Remuneration Act 1990
as in force immediately before the commencement of this Act, that is
calculated at a rate equal to the rate from time to time of the Commonwealth
basic salary less $42 000.
