He also gets a lifetime pension if/when he retires.
Their ridiculous salaries should be be the average wage of Australians as reported by the ATO.

I'm assuming there's a cut-off point where his pension shrinks if he retires at backbencher level. That's his deadline I reckon. He's got to know he's done.

To be fair Morrison is an outlier.
I don't begrudge all the others their entitlements and unlike ministers PM's don't seem to join the corporate gravy train as much - they generally maintain their dignity and continue to take public roles or slide away.
Morrison obviously won't do that - I still bet he ends up being a Hillsong minister.

When you ge to increase your own entitlements via vote there is a massive problem with it.
These people are some of the worst welfare frauds in Australia.
Some pretty kind assessments in there. Keating became a well paid Australia hating spokesman for a hostile power. Rudd and Turnbull became bigger narcissists. Abbott and Howard say some dumb things but aren't too bad. Gillard by far the most dignified and best of all of them. Scummo is by far the worst of all, cashing in and checking out while still on the public purse

An “international event”, is 3 hrs at the Hilton.
Why so secretive again?
He claims it’s privately funded. Does that mean he’s not being paid ?

Of course he's being paid. On top of his 211K MP salary. And missing the first parliament sitting. He's a free loading liar.

Yep, liar from the shire.
On one hand, I think he should be in parliament representing the people of Cook. On the other, these people are so stupid to keep voting for him, so who cares.

Not a whole lotta love for Morrison on the SMH Letters page today:
What our local MP is obviously doing is networking in the hope that some of these “has-beens” will offer him a more lucrative and prestigious role than representing the good citizens of Cook.
A few words of advice to the “has-beens” if they think to offer him a job: he doesn’t hold the hose, doesn’t deal well with pandemics (unless a group of state premiers take over for him), doesn’t believe you can trust government or the United Nations.
He does, however, firmly believe in coal and has been known to carry some with him; believes in climate change figure-fudging, obfuscation and, oh yes, his god. The electorate of Cook deserves better. Sue Schipp, Caringbah South
Surely, the main reason why Morrison has failed to turn up at the opening of parliament is that he is just plain embarrassed to do so.
The trip to Tokyo to speak at some conference or other is just a convenient excuse to ease himself into the reality that he has suffered an excruciatingly huge defeat as prime minister and now has to face it, rather than reside in relative obscurity as the lowly member for Cook, a job he doesn’t seem to be doing very well. I’d be happy if he retired to spend more time with the family. Michael Slocum, Ascot Vale
If Morrison is going to go off to pointless gabfests instead of attending parliament, or indeed if he resigns before the next election, there’s a simple response.
Fine him whatever his total parliamentary salary would have been during his absenteeism. The conservatives should endorse that response – it’s exactly what they’ve been trying to do to trade unions for legal industrial actions for decades. Tony Doyle, Fairy Meadow
It really does sum him up. Morrison certainly hasn’t wasted any time using his gold travel pass considering his recent trip to WA to preach to the converted. It is somewhat of an insult to his fellow sitting Liberals that he has not shown up to parliament. Hopefully, his employer will deduct three days’ pay for absenteeism, and in case he’s forgotten, he does still have an obligation to his electorate to be in Canberra when the House is sitting. Peter Rose, Jamberoo
If the people of Morrison’s former electorate – because, let’s face it, Morrison is as good as gone – think their local federal member should be sitting in parliament representing their interests, then they ought to have voted for one prepared not only to hold a hose, but to remain “trust(ing) in the Lord with all (his) heart and lean not on (his) own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5), and to have recalled Philippians 4:13 and “done all this through Him who gives me strength”. Fred Jansohn, Rose Bay
Psychologically, Morrison’s failure to show for the first week of parliament is a repeat of his holiday to Hawaii when the country was burning. It is an escape – thinking that out of sight is out of mind, whereas the ensuing furore indicates the very opposite is true. The former PM is likely soon to flee politics altogether, making possible that an independent or a strong local ALP candidate can defeat a new Liberal candidate in his seat of Cook. Ron Sinclair, Windradyne
There could be a new movement: “SMEXIT”. Peter Hill, East Ballina
Absence unlikely to make our hearts grow fonder
As a constituent of Cook, Scott Morrison’s electorate, I am appalled but not surprised by his lack of workplace ethics (“So much for mutual obligation”, July 26). After such a long break away from parliament one would have expected he would attend the new sitting. The salary he is paid is specifically to represent this electorate, and it is not in Tokyo. Why go on a trip to Tokyo to discuss who knows what with a group of, as Jenna Price aptly names them, “has-beens”?What our local MP is obviously doing is networking in the hope that some of these “has-beens” will offer him a more lucrative and prestigious role than representing the good citizens of Cook.

If Morrison leaves Parliament, Climate 200 are going to target his seat
They think a Teal can win it

They'd have more luck with a white supremacist - Don Jnr might be looking for a new home soon - can the Republic of The Shire offer him diplomatic immunity?
