Bill English

New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English has put the board of the New Zealand Superannuation Fund on notice following their decision to ignore his advice and award a large pay rise to chief executive Adrian Orr. English made the comments after documents showed that he originally declined to approve a proposed increase which could have been as high as 35.6 per cent if Orr had achieved his maximum bonus. Ultimately Orr received a 15.8 per cent increase to his base remuneration.
