I would like to know that, because when I drew attention to what the CEO of Australia Post was getting paid—$5.6 million—I found the remuneration was set by the parliament under (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), with (e) meaning unlimited; they can basically pay what they want over $400,000, which is unacceptable, in my opinion, to the Australian people. Especially with a scheme like the NDIS, it's very important for the Australian people to receive the care and attention that they need, yet we're paying these huge amounts—approximately $5.3 million a year—in remuneration to these board members. We as a nation are going to struggle to pay for the NDIS.
