Does Australia Post chief Ahmed Fahour really do the work of 119 people?

Because when you break down his $5.6 million pay cheque and compare it to the average Australia Post worker, who earns a measly $47,000 per annum, that’s exactly how much he’s supposed to be worth.

In this week’s episode of The Money Cafe, James Kirby and Alan Kohler discuss Fahour’s big salary — and whether he’s really earned it.

Also in this week’s episode, Kirby and Kohler question whether the Reserve Bank has become irrelevant, considering the ever-widening gulf between the RBA’s rate moves and what’s happening with the big banks.
