New laws mean Queensland's state politicians will now only get a pay rise when other public servants do.

On Wednesday night, State Parliament passed retrospective laws linking politicians' pay to public servants' wage rises.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told the House it was a key election promise that the public expected.

"It is the right thing to do, it is the moral thing to do," she said.

"Where was the morality when they awarded the former premier the equivalent pay rise as the president of the United States?"

The Opposition tried to amend the bill with Leader Lawrence Springborg saying the Independent Remuneration Tribunal should not be restricted.

"I have no problem with it being linked. I have a problem with this farce which then says we're going to have an Independent Remuneration Tribunal," he said.

"It will not solve the problem because the issues and the perceptions of the public will still exist out there and the only way to do this is have a true and independent process."

But Katter party MPs and independent Billy Gordon supported the Government's position and the bill was passed.

The retrospectivity of the bill also allowed Labor to reject a 2.58 per cent increase recommended by the tribunal in April.

The bill also returned administrative responsibilities for Parliament House to the Speaker.
