At its core, this is a straightforward and useful change which will move the decision making from the executive to the Remuneration Authority. This is especially important given that Government decisions are often examined by the courts and also by these various bodies that these judicial officers perform their functions in. The remuneration system will certainly be less susceptible to any perception of ministerial influence, as it sits with the fair and independent Remuneration Authority, which performs an important constitutional role in our system. It also provides more consistency to the remuneration of officials, as the Remuneration Authority is already responsible for determining the fees of various officers, including judges, those who sit on the Supreme Court, coroner's court, District Courts, and the High Court, amongst others. So I am pleased to commend this bill to the House.
