Garton on pay rates

At the presentation by the Provost Stephen Garton to Faculty staff on 28 Aug,
he repeated several times that "we are the best-paid staff". Comparing USyd
with UNSW pay rates, shows that the claim is not quite true:

An oft-repeated mantra (e.g. by Garton at his presentation, or in email
from VC to Andrew Mathas) is that the pay of our executives is aimed at
about 75% of "average" for the sector.

Looking at UNSW annual reports
http://annualreport.unsw.edu.au/
http://www.fin.unsw.edu.au/OurServices/FinancialControl_FinancialAccountingReporting_AnnualReports.html
seems that their "executive group" are paid less than ours.

Another myth busted?
