Mark Sullivan takes a hair cut

Wow, his salary has fallen from around $2,300 dollars a day down to a paltry $2,000 per day. How will the poor lamb survive?

It’s a joke, and the joke is on us, folks.

Well said.

Time to reconstitute ACTEW as an ACT government department and pay its chief executive accordingly.

Ok sleuths/insiders, what outrageous scandal/stuff-up is our drowsy attention being diverted from by the harrumphing over MS’s remuneration???

“Ms Gallagher has also called for an end to ACTEW executives being paid bonuses and has commissioned a structural review of the company, but says Mr Sullivan’s pay cut was not a demand from Government.”

It’s also interesting the KG et al are called the ACTEW ‘shareholders’ in yesterday’s stories, and then ‘the Government’ in this one.
Frankly, I feel calling them the ‘shareholders’ is stupidier, so this way is better IMO. Let’s face it, the taxpayers should be called the ‘shareholders’! 🙂

“One of the issues that’s very clear through this past month is there hasn’t been a great understanding of the difference between ACTEW and ACTEW AGL,” she said.

Let alone where ACTEW Water fits in….
Hahaha!

I’m not sure what the new one is getting, but in late 2011 the previous Commissioner of Taxation was only getting $505,000. But it’s only one of the largest federal agencies and responsible for almost all federal revenue collection, so I can see why a local utility might want to pay their boss more.

It’s a bug bear of mine but why do people insist on relating pay to what the President of the USA or indeed any politician gets paid?

All they’re doing is showing how woefully underpaid the President is compared to his responsibilities. No one goes into politics for the money.

Wow, his salary has fallen from around $2,300 dollars a day down to a paltry $2,000 per day. How will the poor lamb survive?

Before we all get excited and the ABC/ CT claims an error in disclosure I have agreed to a remuneration package of $693,000 with salary of $630,000 and up to 10% superannuation. It will remain at that level until 30 June 2014 when it will go up by CPI. My contract still expires in June 2016. I get my haircuts at Christos next to Guss’es and thats a lot of haircuts but not the point. You can now comment based on fact which is a really good start. My remuneration would take AirForce 1 across the USA once and I would not be President for 10 times that but its an interesting benchmark.
