Tasmania’s public sector union says it would accept a proposed pay rise for politicians, if they support pay rises for government workers.

The state’s Industrial Commission has ruled that politicians deserve a 10 per cent pay rise, pushing the basic salary for a backbencher or member of the Opposition up to $133,560.

The ruling could break a wage freeze for Tasmanian MPs that has been in place since 2014, when the commission recommended an 8 per cent immediate pay rise.

None of the major parties in Parliament backed the recommendation, and so nothing happened.

However, unlike the 2014 report, the most recent ruling is binding unless the Parliament overturns it.

It means the pay rise will flow to MPs, unless both houses of Parliament strike it out before June 30.

Premier Will Hodgman is “considering” the pay rise, but Labor and the Greens have been quick to oppose it.

But Public Sector Union spokesperson Tom Lynch says the decision could be accepted, if the Government accepts all other commission rulings.

The commission also ruled that the Government’s wage cap for public sector workers should be scrapped.

“They oppose these same sorts of decisions for ambulance officers and doctors and for everyone else, if they accept this for themselves then they are saying work value is what's important here,” he said.

“And that's what we've always argued, and that's what we will be following up in our bargaining this year.”

Labor leader Bryan Green said it was “not a good look” for politicians to be accept a pay rise but not give one to their staff.

“We said from the beginning that we believe that our salaries ought to be linked to public service increases, that is fair,” he said.
