Government must release Australia Post from time warp

The inaction here is bewildering. Yes, any federal government will want to be careful to protect rural and regional services; Graham agrees. But the need for reform is blindingly obvious, and the cost to taxpayers will only grow as AusPost’s losses do. The substantial losses posted recently by Britain’s Royal Mail and Canada Post show the urgency of reform.

“We know how this movie can end, and we believe we’ve got a different ending, which is an ending that shows Australia Post can be sustainably profitable,” Graham says.
