Technology changed and the paperless office has been around for years.

However the public service recruitment and promotion policies have also been effective in obtaining staff that are brusque and unhelpful. Their personal presentation is lacking as well. The procedures for daily business rely on what staff want to grudgingly do, not what will serve customers best.

Australia Post can't be privatised soon enough.

Privately operated Licensed PO's are struggling in Australia. This is despite the fact that they do not operate under the same criteria as Corporate PO's do. At the end of the day it simply comes down to, should AP be partly at least, a service provider, which under community obligations it is now, or should it be fully privatized and operate as a commercial business.
With the recent increase in the standard letter rate from 60c to 70c, AP, despite huge losses in the letter business, offered the disadvantaged (pension card holders) 5 free standard posts per year, plus the ability to purchase 50 x 60c face value stamps pa, this would be at a huge loss to AP. Also introduced a 2 tiered letter service for corporate customers. A priority service at 68c and a regular service at 62c.
Under the Constitution all Australians must pay the same rate for letters, despite isolation, distance, volume etc. If I was a private letter business I would love to deliver letters between Sydney and Melbourne at 70c each, five days a week but I would not be so keen to deliver a letter between Broome WA and Strawn Tas at 70c, five days a week. More like at $5, one day a week.

The NSW Watermelon Greens are on record for nagging - employing emotional blackmail - against the closure of a few uneconomic post offices in Sydney. It is just the headline hunting Greens trying to stir to win cheap votes from the serially upset.

It will be a very long, cold day in Hell before the smug, well-off 'Chard' quaffers who run the Greens will ever worry about the old or country people. The Greens want to take old people's homes from them, encourage them to top themselves because they are old and decrepit, and to tax their deaths. Where country people are concerned, the Greens couldn't give a hoot about family farms or getting rid of narrow bridges on Highway 1 to take some instances. Fire breaks to protect farm fencing? Go to hell with that say the lunar, keyboard environmentalists, the Greens.

What the Greens are up to is simple enough. The Greens are hell-bent on poaching some public servant voters from Labor. Nothing to see here folks, move on.

Dear Shadow Minister,

Come on mate, you are getting caught out time and time again on OLO making uninformed comments then having to try and cover your tracks. It only takes a small amount of checking to get these things right. You are demonstrably wrong on every point you have made.

Firstly the AP CEO does not report to a minister but rather the AP board of directors, the same as any company.

Secondly his primary objectives, by law, are efficiency and profits.

Thirdly the employees are not public servants but are employees of a publicly held corporation and a large chunk are contractors.

I have described the reasons AP should not be fully privatised and you have not given reasons why they should.

Dear Hasbeen,

It might be news to you mate but we are not living in the 70s so the mantra you were trotting out then is so irrelevant as to almost be a parody.

You wrote;

“All too many of us know how much of their shift is spent delivering letters, & how long the strike would be, if postal delivery public servants were actually asked to do a fair day's work.”

I'm calling this bulldust. You have no idea either and are just making it up.

I know how little contractors in country areas are being paid. We were recently asked to look at the business case for a client who was wanting to buy in as a mail contractor. Their was no way in the world to make a decent living out of it after all the expenses were taken into account. The bloke would have been working for less than $10 per hour without holidays or sick pays or super. This might well be something you want to celebrate but I personally think it is abysmal and something that should offend any Australian who is fair minded. Thankfully there are a few of us left.

It seems what you are really begrudging is people getting a fair wage for a fair day's work, a principle that we should be upholding.

Even metropolitan workers are not on flash wages. I coach a lad who is my child's age having left high school over a year ago and now employed by AP. He is on less than what he was getting at McDonalds and works damn hard for his money.

Anybody complaining about how much AP workers make are talking out of ignorance of mean spiritedness. Ultimately I'm not sure that fully privatising the organisation will have a dramatic effect on already low wages but what I do know is it will impact all of us, particularly those of us who live in rural townships and Australia as an inclusive nation will be poorer for it.

Those it will benefit will be the executive class who pay themselves obscene amounts of money and the bankers who will stand to make a fortune in any sell off. These are the people you and Shadow Minister seem to want to support
