Scores of New South Wales (NSW) MPs will earn the equivalent of more than $10,000 (US$6,480) per sitting week in 2025 after a bid to increase the year’s 16-week calendar was rejected.

The Labor government’s lower house schedule for MPs earning $172,500 (US$111,800) a year is several weeks short of the recent average, barring years impacted by state elections or COVID-19.
