2SER radio: AusAid condemned over bloated pay packets
Posted June 13th, 2009 by realradio
Reports have emerged that some aid workers in Papua New Guinea can earn more in a year than Kevin Rudd.
These consultants are paid for by Australian taxpayers through the government’s overseas aid agency, AusAID.
They can earn up to 360, 000 dollars a year.
Experts say that aid money often finds its way back to Australia in the form of consultancy fees or company profits.
AusAID says the rates paid to consultants in PNG are comparable to rates paid for the same kind of work around the world.
