$7.53 million
NAB CEO Ross McEwan received the biggest pay rise in terms of percentage at almost 130 per cent, from a huge $2.31 million to an even bigger $5.29 million.

The average raise all up for the CEOs in Guardian Australia’s round up was 17.16 per cent. Wanna know how much the average raise was for full-time workers? 1.9 per cent. And since inflation was 6.1 per cent, that means workers actually lost money — because their costs increased at a quicker pace than their pay. I want to say this is a tale as old as time, but it isn’t. It’s just as old as capitalism.
Teachers, nurses, grocery store workers, public transport officers — generally the very people who keep our society from collapsing in on itself — are still earning fuck all while CEOs are raking in mammoth profits.
