ICYMI, Hanson had some pretty serious words for Fahour earlier this month, after it was revealed he was sitting on a pay packet worth $5.6 million a year. She also insinuated his donation to the Islamic Museum of Australia was kinda iffy because of his astronomical pay, and its source:
I’m so angry to see Australia Post paid its CEO, Ahmed Fahour $5.6 million last year. I don’t care what others say! THIS IS TAXPAYER MONEY! pic.twitter.com/GXHkWI852k

Well, Fahour stepped down from the position earlier today, and took a pop at Hanson in the process. He said the wages were justified, ‘cos AusPost “is a very large organisation with a very large footprint… It is fair to say it is a little bit more complex than running a fish-and-chip shop.”
BURN.
Hanson, of course, responded with some more Tweet-heat of her own:
Ahmed Fahour quits. Says running Australia Post harder than owning a fish & chip shop. At least my shop never suffered a $221 MILLION loss!

I wonder if Australia Post is still waiting for Ahmed Fahour’s resignation letter to arrive in the mail? #auspol

The difference between my fish&chip shop & Ahmed Fahour’s Australia Post? My customers didn’t have to wait 3-6 business days for their meal!

So, during his appearance on the Channel Ten panel show, Fahour first defended his former employees, before questioning Hanson’s motives:
“In terms of Senator Hanson’s comment… the track record of what this company has achieved during this time period is really clear.“And what Senator Hanson should really work out, does she have a real issue with how Australia Post is performing, or does she have an issue with the colour of my skin or my religion?”
