Clark reappointed

The Herald reports:

Former Helen Clark has been appointed for a another term in her role at the Nations.

Miss Clark was first appointed as the Development Programme Administrator in 2009.

She said it had been an โ€œhonour and a โ€ to serve in the role for the past four years.

โ€œI thank the Member States of the United Nations Assembly and the Secretary-General for their confidence in me to lead the organisation for another term,โ€ she said.

Four years goes quickly.

The position has a free US$450,730 salary and $240,000 housing subsidy which is a total package of US$690,000 tax free. That is NZ$803,500 net which is equal to NZ$1.19 million gross. A lot better than being PM! I suspect she's still like her old job back though.

Her new term will expire in April 2017.
