how about $100,000 p/a

sound alright?

then, one should ask oneself - what kind of person would you attract for that figure?

is there a greater or lesser probability of a political leader being paid $500,000 to be a target for graft and corruption or if they are paid $100,000?

to me - it's not the money that's a problem with politicians ----------- it's the quality.

Combine the run of the mill quality with character traits of only being in it for oneself -------- and one has a toxic recipe.

But, that is true of voters also.

The dinner table is where it begins - a rotting culture.

Australian parents want their children to get better jobs so they get higher incomes - so they can afford bigger houses in better areas - so they can store more useless crap that they can afford to buy.

Many other nations also want their children to get better jobs -------- but, the reason is TOTALLY different -

they want their kids to get better jobs -------- so that everyone in their society is benefited. Better people mean a better society.

So - the Aussies get exactly what they deserve.
