A gender pay victory or financial madness - debate over council chief executive salary
The Dunedin City Council voted behind closed doors to increase its chief executive's salary by nearly $60,000, putting it closer in line with her male counterparts.
The move increased Dr Sue Bidrose's annual salary to $444,000 – a 14.7 per cent jump.
The increase, which was made public this week, was slammed by the Taxpayers' Union as a "stuff you" to local ratepayers.
But mayor Dave Cull said Bidrose had been earning below market value and her pay rise sent a strong message about addressing the gender pay gap.
