The reductions to the pay of all public servants, including teachers, announced in my Budget Statement of 9 December 2009 were legislated for through the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No 2) Act 2009, and were implemented with effect from 1 January 2010. Section 3 of the Act provides that in calculating the pension entitlements of those in receipt of public service pensions or those retiring before 31 December 2010, or a later date specified by ministerial order, the pay reductions provided under the legislation will be disregarded.

I do not consider it appropriate to speculate on future measures that may impact on public servants' income.
