Telstra CEO gets $700,000 pay rise to $6.8m despite Australia-wide outage

Medium Credibility Center Neutral
Article Summary

Telstra has paid its chief executive, Vicki Brady, $6.8m for the year ending in June, after docking 20% of her bonus in response to the network’s nationwide outage in July. Its board met on Monday and decided to cut Brady’s bonus by $607,000 – but she still took home a $700,000 pay rise as she was awarded a total of $6.1m the year before. Telstra has faced heavy political criticism for its handling of the outage, which it has blamed on the lack of a software update on a key time-keeping system.
