The NZ Shareholders Association explains why it is opposing Auckland International Airport's decision to try and increase total directors' fees by 12.5%.
I agree 100% with your arguement. These so called consultants are self serving and know what they are required to come up with. Shareholder returns should come first before directors are rewarded.

By any measure AIA is an inefficient business. Its return on equity has been below 6% for the last five years. Anyone who purchased shares at above $1.50 in the last 5 year would have "enjoyed" returns considerably less the ROC. A simple bank investment has outperformed this company. If I were a director I'd be hiding my head in shame!
