> Eleven employees at Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Future Fund, received more than $1m each last year, including one executive whose $1.5m package was more than twice Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s base salary. The government said the pay was needed to attract talent in a competitive global market, while Greens senator Barbara Pocock questioned whether taxpayers were getting value for money.
