‘Our national politicians are underpaid’ says outgoing Reserve Bank Governor, Ian Macfarlane (‘Look Who's Not Getting Enough’, Herald, August 25).

The current edition of Webster’s Dictionary defines a politician as “a man of artifice or deep contrivance; one who adopts politics as a means to his own ends; an intriguer or schemer”.

For what it’s worth, this ungrateful, workchoiced, part-time wage slave thinks that Macfarlane & our self-interested politicians are already eating more than enough cake.
