Rebuttal -

We are one of the lower donating countries in the world. It is something that is required as a UN member I do believe. (could be wrong)

Pay for politicans isnt all that high in reality. We give top end football players 500-600k a year to kick a piece of shit ball, yet the PM gets 280k?

Many politicans come from backgrounds where they could earn considerably more than they do as a member of parliament. Fairly sure Howard made twice as much in a year as a speaker than he did as PM.

Yes, they get the perks, but they are shaping (rightly or wrongly) the nation.
