Melbourne, December 01: Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard will get more salary than US President Barack Obama and the UK Prime Minister David Cameron, as the country's Remuneration Tribunal has decided in favour of increasing the wage of the MPs.
The salary of Gillard is set to overshoot by USD 90,000 making her total wages exceed even US president Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron salaries, a media report said.
After a review, the independent Remuneration Tribunal has decided for increasing federal MPs' salaries in decades. The base salary for the politicians is likely to jump steeply and even the most junior parliamentarian will jump from USD 140,000 to at least USD 180,000, 'The Courier Mail' reported.
