Victorian Socialists

What the ad says

Put politicians on a worker's wage and get the big corporate interests out of parliament! The starting salary of a Victorian MP is $219k (top 4 percent of income earners). Ministers get more than $390k (top 1 percent). Is it any wonder they identify with and look after the interests of elites rather than working-class people in the communities they represent. Victorian Socialists think politicians should be paid an average full-time worker's wage - equivalent to a 6th year nurse (currently $96k), with increases pegged to the nurses' award. If elected, our candidates will accept only that amount for themselves and put the rest into community campaigns in the areas they represent. VOTE '1' for Victorian Socialists to put people in parliament who'll take on all the big corporate and elite interests that dominate politics in this country and put the fear up billionaires like Gina Rinehart who've had everything their way for so long!
