1. Egalitarianism
2. Pro-Democracy

The bill should be supported because it addresses the issue of excessively high remuneration for public office holders, aligning more closely with the principle of egalitarianism by ensuring fair compensation within the public sector. High salaries for a few individuals can exacerbate income inequality, and this measure seeks to rectify that by setting a reasonable cap. Additionally, by making remuneration variations subject to parliamentary disallowance, the bill promotes democratic accountability and transparency, ensuring that the public and their representatives maintain oversight over public spending.

1. Propertarianism
2. Value-Neutral / Epistemic Objection

The bill should be opposed because it may undermine the ability of the government to attract and retain top talent in public service roles. By capping salaries, the government might struggle to compete with the private sector, which could offer more lucrative compensation packages. This could lead to a talent drain where highly skilled individuals choose private sector positions over public service, potentially hindering the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations. Additionally, the flexibility of the Minister to prescribe a different amount may not suffice to address this competitive disadvantage adequately [Judgment].
