Good riddance. Yet another lowballing courier undercutting what should be a natural monopoly for standard parcels operated by public-owned AusPost (unless the Libs get in again and have a go at privatising it).
Remember how mad the Libs wanted everyone to be when AusPost C-suite got luxury watches as gifts? They wanted to burn the whole of AusPost to the ground over it and yet (from memory) AusPost is actually quite profitable and those executives are relatively low-paid for their positions.
I guess my point is; even though C-suite usually suck, AusPost even manages to do that right. It’s a very well run public service. And the Libs still want to destroy it.
