Interesting I wonder what the salaries are I reckon some sort of performance based package would be best, like a bonus if big stuff ups are avoided. Of course we will never know what we pay these guys as that is none of our business.

Richard.

GM instead of CEO .......... I see.

And the GM is " The person is accountable to the RA-Aus Board through the Executive."

Is that perhaps further cementing the untouchable nature of the Executive?

A GM would cost less. Regarding pay (ot remuneration as it is called) maybe this job requires a bit of talent. it is a position that must function well. Don't we know that? Nev
