Greens Spokesperson for Communications Senator Sarah Hanson Young responded to the Morrison Government\u2019s terms of reference for an investigation into Australia Post:
\n\u201cThis investigation is supposed to establish whether this publicly-owned essential service is acting in the best interests of its shareholder \u2013 the Australian taxpayer – and yet the enormous pay packets and bonuses pocketed by executives don\u2019t get a mention in the terms of reference.
\n\u201cNo one working in the public service should be taking home multi-million-dollar salaries and paid bonuses.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s not just the Cartier watches that are the problem, it\u2019s Australia Post becoming a quasi-private, quasi-public organisation that is now out of step with community expectations.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s time to wind back the clock and ensure Australia\u2019s postal service is a truly public organisation acting in the best interests of taxpayers, not millionaire executives.
\n\u201cThe Greens will re-introduce our bill to cap executive salaries and end performance-based pay at Australia Post and across the public service.
\n\u201cTime\u2019s up for those seeking a luxury lifestyle on the public purse whether its executives at Australia Post or ASIC, and the Parliament needs to do its job and rein them in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
