Snowy Hydro has become the latest federal government-owned business asked to explain tens of millions of dollars in staff bonuses, after new data showed it paid out nearly $30 million last financial year.

The Australian Financial Review revealed earlier this month that Australia Post had paid $28 million in bonuses to its best-paid employees last financial year, while NBN Co paid out $4.1 million in bonuses.
