Federal politicians won't be getting a pay rise in the next financial year, at a time Australians are battling the coronavirus pandemic.
Parliament's Remuneration Tribunal has decided to freeze politician pay rates for the next 12 months.
"The tribunal has concluded that no changes to the provisions for which it has responsibility are necessary at this time," the agency said in a statement on Thursday.
