There we got the same old argument that we do not have the best and brightest in Australia and we need to import them from overseas—jack up the salaries, give more millions on top of the millions already, attract the Don Voeltes and other people from elsewhere because we do not have the talent in Australia. What rubbish! What utter hogwash! If Senator Cormann and the opposition want to have a plebiscite they should have one on the Greens' wish to put a cap of $5 million on CEO salaries. If you want to spend millions more dollars of taxpayers' money, try us on that one.
