Hospitality expenses

Wednesday 20 Jun 2012

Along with the increase in salaries we note excessive spending in the hospitality budgets of our service utilities.

Synergy spent over $1.4 million in corporate hospitality over the past four years and are on track to spend another quarter of a million this financial year.

Horizon Power are spending over $20,000 each year for a corporate box at Fremantle Docker matches and also entertain guests (and senior staff) at rugby and cricket matches.

WA's State owned power utilities also spent more than $400,000 on staff Christmas parties last year including $4000 for Synergy and Horizon's executives and their partners.
