Reported at www.theguardian.com: Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has called for a significant salary cut for the NBN CEO, suggesting a reduction of around $2.5 million, to occur in exchange for supporting a bill that aims to prevent the privatisation of the national broadband network.

The proposed amendments include capping senior executive salaries and ensuring that NBN services remain affordable and accessible during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis.

Labor’s ability to pass the bill will depend on securing support from the Greens and other crossbench senators, as the Coalition opposes it.
