My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Chris Evans. Given that Australians are appalled at the outrageous salary packages which are being paid to senior executives, given that the Prime Minister agrees and says, ‘Game over; we’ve got to rein it in; people just have had a gutful of greed in terms of these obscene salary structures,’ and given that excessive parliamentary super is still in place for many members in this chamber and in the other place and they will greedily line their pockets on retirement with exorbitant super payouts, doesn’t it smack of hypocrisy for the Prime Minister to point the finger at fat cat executives when he and many of his MPs are on the same gravy train?
