Depends if they've been convicted of a white collar crime such as money laundering. Plus they should be truthfully disclose their tax returns if not, they should be convicted

No, they should be audited yearly to prevent corruption, but should not have to be released publicly unless fraud is found

their income shouldn’t affect their ability to do their job to the best of their abilities, and the income shouldn’t be incentive to be employed in that job.

No, but they shouldn’t be allowed to hold majority shares in private business and penalties for failure to declare conflicts of interest should be stricter

Their income is none of our business but they should be audited

As long as the ATO confirms they are are paying the right amount of tax for their pay grade, it's fine.

No, they should just be paid far less. A career in Public service should not be motivated by financial gain.

No, but should go through some verification process.
