"We are not in the business of regulating, but I would say to all corporate executives today, it's time corporate executives showed restraint," the prime minister told reporters.

Moss, who has been with Macquarie for more than 30 years, will walk away from Australia's largest investment bank with a salary for his final year of 25 million dollars.
