Former prime minister Stuart Young will not be receiving a prime ministerial pension, after the Senate yesterday approved the Prime Minister’s Pension (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which now sets a minimum one-year term in office for any prime minister to qualify for a State pension. The bill also has a tiered payment structure based on time served. Crucially, the bill applies retroactively from March 10, 2025, completely disqualifying Young, who served from March 17 to April 28.
