Daniel Andrews under fire after 'unfair' decision to increase his pay to $441,000 a year

Victorian premier's 11.8% salary increase a stark contrast to 2% rise offered to police, paramedics and train drivers

The Victorian premier, Daniel Andrews, has defended being awarded an 11.8% salary increase, making him the highest paid state leader in the country with a total income of $441,000 a year.

The boost comes as the state's police, paramedics and train drivers have been offered a much more modest 2% pay raise.
