AMP shareholders are the latest group associated with the troubled company under fire, for not pushing hard enough to clean up its corporate culture.

Labor senator Deborah O'Neill, who two weeks ago revealed in Parliament further sexual harassment allegations directed at other senior staff at AMP, is in no doubt Mr Pahari should have been fired."And what we've seen with the continuing engagement of Mr Pahari in that role is dollars trumping the reality of the human experience."
