Under-skilled bureaucrats bag big bounty

Over-paid.

Beyond their capability. And where is the performance to back up the pay level?

Five of Australia's most senior public servants are expected to be granted pay rises of between $250,000 and $300,000 to bring them into line with other public service bosses and high-flying corporate executives.

Current salary packages for the new Chief of the Defence Forces, the Tax Commissioner, the Auditor-General, the Chief of Customs and the Australian Statistician are expected to be boosted soon beyond their current $500,000 a year to $800,000 in line with recent rises granted to corporate regulators.

Funny, as I know people of worth that earn a lot less. They did it themselves and didn't need a government hand-out.

Gobsmacked.
The rise and rise of the non-productive sectors of this eeconomy leave me speechless.
Where the hell is the responsible press?
Apart from the Australian no part of the media ever reports correctly on Govt waste.

The ABC News says that they need to be paid this amount, or these talented people would work for a Public Company.
My Arse, they would not get through the first interview.
