An Australian Senate committee has revealed that that country's mail chief is the nation's highest paid public servant and made A$5.6 million ($4.3 million) last year.
The Communications and Environment Committee announced on Tuesday that Ahmed Fahour, managing director of the national mail service, was paid A$4.4 million salary plus an A$1.2 million bonus in the last fiscal year - more than 10 times the prime minister's salary of A$507,000.
