Pretty good money when you take account of all the allowances they claim, that's where they really make their money as major allowances like accommodation are tax free, not to mention all the "business expenses" claimed like eating out and drinking grog all charged to the taxpayer. Plus of course their free overseas 'study tours' with spouse in tow which are in effect paid holidays.
