An interesting article about the business we own!
Is this just more media speculation, or is this really indicating that where there is smoke there is a fire?
Will we find out only when we have been sold?

Are you a Licensee with a letters only Mail Contract
Submitted by LPOGroup on Tue, 19/07/2016 - 9:46pmthat does not include parcels? Are you being dictated to deliver parcels up to 2kg as "letters" on your mail contract run for no increased payment? There is a bunch of Licensees in Tasmania who have found the goal posts relocated before their very eyes. They are looking to hear from Licensees with the same problem in other states.

Oh the Irony.......
Submitted by LPOGroup on Mon, 04/07/2016 - 11:50amThe new government will not be decided until Australia Post delivers all the postal votes!
So we have the balance of power for the government in our network!
Time to make all political parties well aware of how important Australia's postal system is to the running of the country.
Imagine if we don't bother? There is no digital solution that will by pass this need for the physical system to deliver.
Lets hope this is a strong message that sits on many desks in Canberra for a long while to come.
