Pedant hat off!
I think we might be arguing the same thing. My way of looking at the numbers was this. A run of the mill (some would argue a VERY run of the mill) Qantas CEO is paid (I can't bring myself to say 'earns') $24m. Poor struggling Gareth only gets $3m, 1/8th of that. Obviously you lot haven't the faintest clue about how much school fees are these days - you really should be more sympathetic. He's taller than a Qantas CEO too - suits would be more expensive. It's tough out there.
