Telstra CEO's pay rose 11% to $6.8m despite Triple Zero outage bonus cut

Telstra's board cut 20% of CEO Vicki Brady's bonus — $607,000 — over the July outage that severed Triple Zero emergency calls and affected nearly half of all network traffic. Other remuneration components outweighed the penalty, lifting her total pay 11% to $6.8 million. Over 30,000 customers sought compensation; nearly $1 million has been paid out.
