    "eps accretive" is the key term.

    Our Jeff needs to do a few more "eps accretive" tricks to make us even more comfortable about him being the 6th highest paid CEO in the country at $2.8 million according to the Herald !

    Be careful what you ask for. The best way to make an 'earnings accretive' acquisition is to make sure your existing business is performing very poorly!

    Agree that's a lot of money for a company that has issued a lot of talk about acquisitions and not actually done much and is delivering very modest eps growth. To me it speaks of a culture of greed in the banking industry. Not happy about that.

    If they deliver strong earnings growth I have no objection to senior executives being paid well. I am reminded at this time of the very interesting approach towards diversity and one particular culture...you need to pay millions to come up with brilliant strategies like that so he's an absolute "bargain" at $2.8m

    Proof of ‘Troughing’ from the Annual Report

    CEO remuneration as a multiple of staff remuneration
    The CEO’s salary as a multiple of the staff average is 10.11 times (FY18: 10.5 times), and his total remuneration as a multiple of the staff average is 19.77 times (FY18: 19 times


    No wonder he thanks staff for all their hard work and greatness at the ASM ...greedy bugger

    The board, which includes Greg Tomlinson who owns 58,392,997 HGH shares would not employ a "Stupid bastard."
