    Where are all the rest? - there must be at least 90 ALP members. And why just the ALP?
    You never see it in the media but almost all politicians get an extra 100k by serving on a committee or being the minister for West End tree frogs.

    Apart from the olde farts the super system is similar to what we all get.

    This list is the “crème de la crème” of the ALP. I would assume the numbers would be a lot worst if they included all the “plebs”.

    What!!! You want to include the LNP and totally embarrass the Labor Party ;).

    Include the plebs and then we can decide.

    Include everyone.

    The LNP.
    The Liberal party.
    The National Party.
    The Country Liberal party.

    Have I forgotten one of the parties that makes up the coalition?

    Because Malcolm Turnbull’s net wealth is probably higher than all of that list combined?:)

    Good for them. Nothing wrong with trying to increase your wealth, as long as they didn't do it illegally or abuse their power.

    Not all Labor voters are dirt poor. Nor should they be to represent the working class.

    I know 4 hard core Labor families. One is a dole bludger. One retired without a chance of getting the pension. One in decent management positions. One a magistrate.

    It is a political statement becase ALP are seen as anti investment particularly anti property investment. In fact they own investment properties at a higher rate than the general population and are planning to grandfather negative gearing for the properties already held. It is appropriate that they get called out on this.

    I note the OP hasn't provided a source to their propaganda.

    Of course politicians have more wealth than the general population. They're higher paid. Compare the ALP pollies to others if you want to make a point.

    Simple Google search would easily find the 'propaganda' along with a whole lot more about it.

    Which political party is making policy to get rich? - MacroBusiness

    extract;
    Today The Australian fires back:

    Bill Shorten’s asset-rich frontbenchers, who have led attacks on the personal wealth of Malcolm Turnbull, will continue to have access to the benefits of negative gearing on dozens of investment properties under Labor’s plans to axe the lucrative tax break for new investors.

    As the opposition ramps up its class-war attack on “millionaires”, The Australian can reveal many of Labor’s frontbenchers are multi-millionaires, courtesy of bulging property portfolios. Parliamentary records show Labor’s 45 frontbenchers own or have an interest in a total of 105 properties, including 57 classified as residences, and up to 48 classified as investments, holiday houses or blocks of land.

    The Opposition Leader has pledged to axe negative gearing, while “grandfathering” arrangements for those already in the market, in a move that would benefit senior members of his leadership team.
