This determination, which is deemed to have come into force on 1 January 2013, increases the annuity payable to a person who has held the office of Prime Minister for a period or periods amounting in all to not less than 2 years and the annuity payable to the surviving spouse or partner of such a Prime Minister.

In the case of a former Prime Minister, the yearly rate that forms the basis for calculating the annuity is increased from $9,300 to $9,490, with the maximum annuity payable being increased from $46,500 to $47,450.

In the case of the surviving spouse or partner of a former Prime Minister, the yearly rate that forms the basis for calculating the annuity is increased from $4,650 to $4,745, with the maximum annuity payable being increased from $23,250 to $23,725.

This determination continues the past practice of adjusting the annuities by having regard to growth in the Consumers Price Index and in Prime Ministerial remuneration.
