Thank you, Madam Chair. Recommendation 16 speaks to Members leaving politics. I move that this Assembly recommends that Members receive a top-up for every year they were in a position as Speaker, Premier, or Minister regardless of when they served in that position.
And further, that this top-up not exceed the annual basic indemnity at that time.
The Member will receive one month of the Speaker, Premier, or Minister allowance for every year served in any of those positions with the top-up calculated based on the current indemnity allowance paid to a Member holding one of those offices. The time served in any of those positions is to be rounded up to the next full year. Thank you, Madam Chair.
