The Greens say Labor must drastically cut the pay of the national broadband network’s chief executive in exchange for their support on a bill to block any future privatisation of the publicly owned network.
The party’s amendments to Labor’s bill include a salary cap for senior executives, placing a legal obligation on NBN services to remain “affordable and accessible” to consumers, and providing cost-of-living relief for those who can’t afford essential communication services.
