WOW GET THIS…….!
The Smith Family's CEO, Doug Taylor, earns a salary of $826,000 per year.
This includes a base salary of $526,000 and additional remuneration totaling $300,000.
And he has the HIDE to ask people struggling to make ends meet for money…..
THIS IS WHAT’S WRONG WITH SOCIETY TODAY…..
He sits back on nearly one million dollars a year, and pleads with struggling families to DONATE……

That information is incorrect.

"The source of this information comes from an American Foundation, called The Smith Family Foundation. This foundation is not the Australian-based The Smith Family.

"The Smith Family is not a foundation. It is a not-for-profit set up in 1922 to support children to overcome the effects of poverty."

'The proles can work for free.'

'But we CEO's must be appropriately remunerated.'



It seems to be the same 'game', in all/many Australian charities ??

e.g.
I sometimes frequent my local Red Cross charity shop [where all of their for sale 'stock', are items which have been donated by the Australian public].

And i know that all of the ladies in the local shop are true volunteers.


But i know that Red Cross Australia has a large corporate 'footprint' these days.

And some time ago i tried to quickly find out [in an online search] the salary of the CEO of Red Cross Australia.
.....and it was too difficult !


SURELY, there must be a place, online somewhere, where the salaries paid to Australian charity CEO's are all disclosed ?
.......but i haven't discovered it yet.




If you go looking for an answer [online], there seems to be a lot of 'ducking and diving' going on......

as per.....
"What does the CEO of Smith Family earn? [this is a drop down tag]
[and it gets you ----- >] Our CEO is paid appropriately and in line with leaders of similar-sized charities......."

This is why I usually don't give to charities ....

because what you give is whittled away by paying admin costs & salaries.

This mob not being transparent is no different from the Aboriginal bodies & land councils in receipt of the spread of around $40 billion per year in the Govt ATSI budget and those that receive multi millions in royalties from mining companies.

They don't want to be accountable or to be independently audited to see exactly how the money is being spent and where it goes.

Wow Gnads !!

$40 billion per year.......is going to the Govt ATSI budget.

And yet, no one has to be accountable [in some detail],
to be able to clearly and publicly disclose,
where EVERY DOLLAR of that Australian TAXPAYER money 'goes'.

But someone should be !   ....surely !

It is disgusting......and probably there is some criminality [theft], already involved there ??

i.e.
If no one, is required to be accountable, for how EVERY DOLLAR is spent, then there will temptation, to misappropriate monies.



It seems to me, that many in our POLITICAL CLASS want to treat Australian TAXPAYER money,
as though it were nothing more than
Mononoply Money
.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_(game)




All of our TAXES which are surrendered to the governments of Australia......
is wealth, which [STILL, LAWFULLY] belongs to all Australian TAXPAYERS.

TAXPAYERS money, collected by our government......isn't money which belongs to any politician or to any bureaucrat.

And whenever politicians decide to disperse such monies....whoever is dispersing those monies.......LAWFULLY, needs to be fully accountable, to the Australian COMMONWEALTH [i.e.   to all Australian citizens],
and should be accountable....to provide some transparency, about how those monies are being used.

disperse = = go or distribute in different directions or over a wide area.

Indeed.

That's ALL that pops up - just an allegation made on the internet.

No proof though.  Nothing at all.

However, it does seem a bit suss they they don't reveal what his real salary actually is.

Just tell us   Undecided
