Labor labelled ‘out of touch’ after proposing a pay rise for the incoming Governor General

Sky News host Chris Kenny has labelled Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party “out of touch” for proposing a pay rise for incoming Governor General Samantha Mostyn. The Albanese government has proposed a $214,000 pay rise for Ms Mostyn, which would take her salary from $495,000 to $709,000. “700 grand a year, to stand around and look dignified, and put your gender and equity activism to one side, we hope – how’s that for social justice?” Mr Kenny said. “Right in the middle of a cost of living crisis.”
