Australia Post HY Report
Pauline Hanson & Malcom Roberts One Nation's call for a Senate Inquiry just go full support in the Senate. No one spoke against it. So the truth will now all come out and we have a chance at a level playing field again. Well done everyone who helped make this happen

When the former provider of Clayton Bay's postal service gave up the contract in December last year, it looked like the town would face a postal blackout during Christmas and into 2021.

Maybe some good sense is rising. Watch Pauline Hanson in the Senate raising the issue and putting the motion on notice.
Just in case everyone else is close to running out of steam like me, this reminded me that we can do one more week with cheer. I just hope the Boxing day sales are not really bigger than Christmas or I'm done. I need at least a week's break just to look at some empty parcel shelves for a change.
T'was a week before Christmas, And all through the town,
People wore masks, That covered their frown.
The frown had begun Way back in the Spring,
When a global pandemic Changed everything.
They called it corona, But unlike the beer,
Community Licensed Post Offices are all across Australia, serving over 80% of the Australia Post retail footprint. We are the locals, working in and serving our local communities. We are not paid public servants. We purchase the license which grants the Licensee the right to operate our community Post Office.

Australia Post pays us fees and commissions as per our License Agreement, with the sole exception of a $6.60 (ex GST) daily representation fee, our income is based only on the level of business transacted in our community Post Office, by our customers. As such, we are very much dependent on a successful and very well managed Australia Post. Hence our full support of Christine Holgate as the CEO of Australia Post. We must have a successful Australia Post, for now, and for Australia's future. We need to speak up now. Christine has not resigned, she offered her resignation - effective immediately, however her terms were not accepted by the Board, so she is on standby. She needs to go back to work.
Please contact your Federal member and voice your concerns at the loss of Christine Holgate and the total disregard for the success of Australia Post and our shared future for the Postal Service of Australia. We have been previously informed that the Goverment of the day believes their community service obligations is fulfilled by the delivery of letters to 94% of delivery points, and providing a postal foot print of 4,000. However the government does not see it is any part of their obligation for those POs to be profitable, and they do not accept they have any obligation to deliver parcels to households or businesses. So effectively we are the football in this political football game, where each side tries to kick the obligations over to the other side, time after time after time. Christine Holgate accepted the position of CEO, and also accepted that Australia Post must be successful, and must share that success all through the business. Which is why she is our breath of fresh air, and invaluable for community Licensed Post Offices. She believes we should thrive, and after 30 years of denial of that from Governments and Australia Post executives and Boards, she is a keeper!
