The Australian Prime Minister's total remuneration (including super and benefits) is $538,460. However, his/her actual base salary from which this is initially built, is actually $207,100.
Cabinet Ministers now earn $350,000 per year.
Bill Shorten earns $376,000 per year, more than German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The chief executives of the ASX 100 companies, earn an "average" of $4.75 million per year, up to 60 times the average Australian full time salary.
At $528,000 per year, Malcolm Turnbull's salary and total remuneration was the highest paid of any OECD leader.
Mr Walker's total remuneration value (at almost $585,000), was approximately $47,000 more than the Australian Prime Minister's total package, and $377,900 more than the Prime Minister's base salary.
Mr Walker's total remuneration was more than any leader of an OECD country on the planet, by at least $50,000 and more.
Ms Swaby's total remuneration value (at just over $470,000) was approximately $68,000 less than the Prime Minister's total package, and $262,900 more than the Prime Minister's base salary.
The average Australian wage at July 1, 2018 was approximately $78,000, including benefits.
Mr Walker's total package was approximately $507,000 above the average Australian salary package, or put another way, up to 7 times the average Australian salary package.
You can calculate Ms Swaby's yourselves, it's a pretty obvious trend.
I wonder what Walker and Swaby and Co are thinking now?
PS: You can easily Google all these statistics, they are all on Wikipedia and the Sydney Morning Herald, and many other sites, and available under FOI from the Australian government.
