They operate like the Media as if in the Mafia more than they operate like politics

Re: Public servants well paid
Interesting how some within the Future Fund remain undisclosed?
Is this due to any particular reason? Ie , lack of available information?
Public servants salaries shouldn't be private.

Australia’s top bureaucrats are the best paid in the world.
By Chris Uhlmann in The Australian.
15th Feb 2025
Who do you think gets paid more, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the US or his Australian counterpart, the Chief of the Defence Force? …
In our dollars the American defence boss gets $382,000 a year and, according to Defence’s latest annual report, Australia’s chief got $1,135,524 in 2023-24. … Try to mount a coherent argument as to why Australia should boast the highest paid military man in the world, one who gets to within a rounding error of earning three times the pay of his US counterpart. …
Australia’s top mandarin, the secretary of Prime Minister and Cabinet, was paid $1,086,846 in 2024. … The White House chief of staff is [paid] $294,813. … Britain’s highest ranking civil servant is the cabinet secretary, [which] comes with a pay packet of $400,274.85.
A rung down from the head of PM&C are the secretaries of Treasury, Defence, Health and Aged Care. They each take home $986,120 a year. The lowest paid of the 16 departmental heads gets a miserly $809,130. That is still more than $200,000 more than the Prime Minister ($607,471).
Search the globe and it turns out Australia has the highest paid senior bureaucrats in the world. The only serious contender for that title is Singapore. Why on earth should this be the case? …
Former public service commissioner Andrew Podger believes the pay of top bureaucrats is too high and based on “spurious market comparisons” with the private sector. …
So here is an election year thought for both parties: pledge to halve the wages of departmental heads and freeze them until they conjure ideas that lift the suffocating regulatory burden of government. …
Any secretary who violently disagreed with the idea could resign and test the idea that they will make more in the private sector.

No wonder Pauline Hanson quit her fish & chips shop.
She could smell the money in politics
