In comparison with their commercial rivals, ABC Radio staff seem to be paid conservatively.

Two people on the list, Jon Faine and Mark Scott, talked about the Australian’s leaked salary figures today on ABC774 Melbourne. Mark Scott said he has launched an investigation into the leak, and Jon Faine said the salary figure quoted in the list is from a couple of years ago. He confirmed that he has just re-signed to ABC Radio for another 3 years at a salary of $300,000.
