Penny Wong to receive pay bump amid cost-of-living pressures

Former NSW Labor treasurer Michael Costa reacts to Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong’s boost in salary while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is out of the country. “I’m not a fan of Penny Wong as you know, but I wouldn’t blame her for this,” Mr Costa said. “I think that this is a policy that is more generalised than that. I think the prime minister has got to step up and show some leadership and put a stop to it."
