I'm not saying they're the same (though I'd argue AusPost is at least as complex an operation as either) but a logistics organisation that size needs management. The total senior executive, comprised of 11 people, were paid a total of around $15mil in 2018. If that is a shocking outrage, I encourage you not to look at the packages of other similar sized companies.
Either way, and those numbers aside, are you thinking that halving, or quartering the board and exec remuneration would attract better talent to the positions? Or perhaps when re-invested in running 10 or so trucks spread across the country for a few years, would make a significant difference to the time it takes for you get a new extender for your next very important project?
Trevor, AusPost customers comprise pretty much the whole Australian population, including entitled whingers from all walks of life. I wouldn't be surprised by or interested in the google reviews they (or any other company, really) receives. I do sometimes read google reviews for a laugh, though 
The ombudsman report is mainly about the number of complaints they receive about AusPost deliveries and lost items. As you can probably gather, it doesn't surprise me at all that heaps of us laid back Aussies are outraged when our Kogan 84" TV for the 4th bathroom in our 8th investment property takes more than a week to be delivered. Of course we need to contact the ombudsman about that!  But seriously, the report mentions that while parcels delivered increased 10% the following year, complaints were flat. That's progress and I don't expect perfection  |
Sorry that argument does not wash with me. The Libs have quietly “corporatised” many government departments that were functioning just fine as a government entity. The USPS Postmater General earns about $A500,000k and simply dwarfs the AP operation in scale. Having spent a good deal of my working life in the USA , I can also say their mail system is superior. Posties actually collect mail as well as deliver it. The notion you need to pay big bucks to get the required corporate talent is a furphy IMHO. It’s simply a cozy monopoly where putting your fingers in the till is encouraged.
