Elected members fooling with salary scale

The House approves for the salaries of Cabinet Ministers to come under the Salway Salary Scale, which was independently assessed. The other members of the House remain under a salary decided by themselves in 2006. But the PRs want the public to think that the PRs salary scale is what Salway recommended when, in fact, a sub-committee chaired by 'Uliti Uata and 'Akilisi Pohiva in 2006 had rejected Salway's figures and presented their own figures, which were higher than Salway's.
