A retail worker will see his salary quadruple to an 'insane' six figures after becoming the newest member of federal parliament.
Incoming Greens MP Stephen Bates still has another three shifts to work in his retail sales job to pay the rent as he prepares for his new role as the member for Brisbane.
He has finally handed in his resignation after the Greens finally declared victory in the tightly-contested seat on Saturday, a week after the election.
Mr Bates, 29, will work his last retail shift next Saturday and is still coming to terms with his new role as one of the youngest members of parliament.
