Chief Executive of ANZ Phil Chronican has expressed his confusion with Australia’s ongoing campaign against banks and the pay packages of their executives.

Mr Chronican defended the pay packages of his colleagues, saying they are deserving of them in much the same way as movie stars of athletes.

"We seem happy and even proud when our sportspeople make it onto the list of the top 20 paid people, or similarly when our entertainers make it on Hollywood's best paid list," Mr Chronican said at a lunch hosted at the American Chamber of Commerce in Australia.
