Telstra CEO Vicki Brady sees pay cut after major network outage

Telstra chief executive Vicki Brady received a $6.8 million pay package for the financial year, representing an 11 per cent increase in her compensation. The pay rise occurred during a year in which the company executed 1,200 job cuts across its workforce.[1][2][3]

The financial year concluded three weeks before a nationwide outage occurred, which cut off access to Triple Zero emergency calls. Despite the timing of the fiscal year's end, the high-profile incident ultimately impacted her overall pay packet.[1][2][3]
