A New Zealand judge is on her way to becoming Britain’s highest paid civil servant according to estimates of her pay and perks.
Dame Lowell Goddard, a former New Zealand High Court judge, is leading the Government’s Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA).
The IICSA was announced in July 2014 by then-British Prime Minister David Cameron. It was set up to address a number of previously covered-up cases of child abuse in hospitals, care homes, churches, and schools.
The Telegraph reported the 67-year-old could receive more than £5 million [NZ$9m] in pay and perks.
