No wonder we all have to pay more in postage fees!

Islamic Museum Donation

[curraone]

Although I don't agree with CEOs getting million dollar bonuses - especially Aust Post where they have actually cut services, what he does with his own bonus is his own business surely?

Mr Fahour asked for the bonus to be donated directly to the ­Islamic Museum of Australia, of which he is patron.

I agree totally. This being old news (a few weeks old), it was a donation made by him, not by Aust Post. No different to someone donating money to their favourite cause out of their own pocket.

Except that he made sure it was reported in the media.

If he was a fair dinkum philanthropist he would have taken the bonus THEN given it to the organisation run by his relatives.

Love him or loathe him, Kerry Packer gave away a lot of money in his life, and very little of that was ever advertised.

IMO Disgraceful bonus and disgraceful publicity stunt, i hope the museum doesn't plan on naming on naming a new wing after the show pony.

Yep, I wonder whether his brother and sister were in danger of losing their jobs, and how many AP jobs could have been saved with that 2 mil bonus. His money surely is to do with what he wants, but if 900 people have to lose their jobs, I have my doubts over whether he deserved it in the first place. 😞
