I move:
- That the Senate calls on the Government to:
- (a)
- ensure that, as a minimum, no financial institution executives’ pay will increase as a consequence of the Government purchasing residential mortgage-backed securities or guaranteeing deposits and wholesale term funding of Australian financial institutions; and
- (b)
- prohibit payment of severance benefits (‘golden parachutes’/’golden handshakes’) to chief executive officers of such banks or institutions.
Question put.
