What this bill seeks to do is to remove some of the judicial and statutory remuneration settings away from the Cabinet fees framework and into the realm of the Remuneration Authority. Those being transferred from the framework to the authority include referees of the disputes tribunals, community magistrates of the District Court, the chairpersons and deputy chairpersons of the Human Rights Review Tribunal, tenancy adjudicators of the Tenancy Tribunal, and the environment commissioners and deputy environment commissioners of the Environment Court. This bill will also create five permanent legislative authorities, which are needed to determine the remuneration of those affected by this change. This doesn't mean that they get an immediate pay rise or a drop; in fact, their pay will remain the same in the immediate future, at least until the authority makes its first determination. The Remuneration Authority Act 1977 itself actually prevents a pay drop, citing that at the very least, any of the officers transferred to this new authority from the framework must retain their current level of remuneration.
