(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.
