New crossbench senators have been offered seven taxpayer-funded advisers and a salary increase for their most senior staffer.
Liberal Democrats senator David Leyonhjelm said the government was trying to "get off on the right foot" with the 11-member crossbench.
"The prime minister confirmed yesterday we can pay our most senior person, our preferred adviser, more money," Senator Leyonhjelm told Sky News on Tuesday.
