Show Notes
Political staffers received a windfall of nearly $23 million in severance pay after the last federal election, with an average of $38,594 per staffer. The change in contract terms, implemented by the former Morrison government, allowed staffers to cash out leave and entitlements and be rehired the next day, resetting their benefits. This setup highlights the high turnover in politics and the potential for staffers to benefit from short breaks between jobs.
