Ahmed Fahour - $5.6 million, plus Order of Australia Award for “distinguished” service to business across postal, banking and investment: just doing what he is extremely well paid to do, in other words. Australia Post turnover: $6 billion. Number of employees: 50,000.

U.S.A postal service top guy: AU$ 363,103. Organisation turnover: $92.3 billion. Number of employees: 493,381. No awards, because America doesn't have such silliness and just expects you to do your job at a reasonable, acceptable rate of pay.

You fall short with the topic, you could have easily added the Politicians salaries because we have an Australian Prime Minister who earns more than the American President.

What is very smelly is the alleged attempt by Australia Post seek to conceal its CEO's pay rise. 'Never you mind' the Board is saying.

So exactly who is on the Board and how to make the directors as individuals accountable for this?

PM Turnbull has spoken against this rise (and the attempted concealment One hopes), but what about the other side of the Parliament and politicians generally?

His pay is beyond any argument. Let's insist these dicks are replaced with foreign directors who will do it cheaper. Hey it works for the regular worker why not the top knobs?
Fahour also set up a "Charity" that seems to employ his family? What's that? Full amount claimed off tax but most of it goes to family members.
Thank Keating for the "Not for profit" fiasco that the ordinary taxpayer pays for.
We need a radical overhaul of this nonsense because when the bubble bursts there is going to be an almighty reckoning.

Why are we making public servants rich?

In the case of Australia Post's CEO ?

Actually we're not.

The renumeration package of the CEO is decided
by the Australia Post Board. Australia Post is a
self-funded business enterprise that does not
rely on any government-funding. Mr Fahour's total
renumeration package takes into account the size
and complexity of the organisation which has an
annual turnover of more than $6 billion. The total
executive renumeration has not increased since 2014.
Since 2007 Australia Post has paid more than $6.3 billion
in dividends and taxes to the Federal Government.

Australia Post does not receive any taxpayer funding.

Now the salaries of politicians is a different story.
That is something that does need reforming. Especially
those politicians who leave their jobs. The salaries
and perks that they will receive FOR LIFE - will make
your blood boil. Bronwyn Bishop (250,000 plus for life).
And checkout out our retired former PMs.
Google it.

Yes. The reluctance to reveal the salary package seems to indicate that they can't really justify it. The florid gentleman on TV last night taking the old line that huge amounts have to be paid to get good people is rubbish. Is he really trying to tell us that our man's equivalent in the U.S is no good because he is only paid 300 odd thousand? The Yanks really expect a bang for their buck, and they wouldn't be putting no-hopers into jobs. Big business and management greed seems to be peculiar to Australia.
