Jacinta Allan is now the highest paid premier in the country, with her pay packet nudging half a million dollars when entitlements are included.

All MPs were given the 3.5 per cent rise in line with the new financial year, about $1 million between them. They will be able to claim 3.4 per cent more on driving, 3.6 per cent on travel, and another 6.1 per cent in electorate allowances per voter.
