New Tasmanian political party

HOBART — "Make more room at the trough — the Extremely Greedy 40% Extra Party is here!", says the first press release of Tasmania's newest political party.

The Extremely Greedy 40% Extra Party has 200 members and has lodged an application for registration with the state Electoral Office. The party arose from disgust at the pay rise that state politicians recently awarded themselves. The smallest of these pay increases is equivalent to the average Tasmanian wage.

The party is campaigning for a reversal of the parliamentary pay rise as well as opposing proposed changes to Tasmania's Hare-Clark electoral system.
