I thought that this was an LPO fight, but really it's a community fight.
There is a Senate Inquiry happening now, in relation to Management of, and plans for, Australia Post's retail network, with particular reference to:
1. Australia Post's engagement with licensees, representative bodies, shareholder ministers and other stakeholders about these plans;
2. the governance, transparency and decision-making processes underpinning those plans;
3. the crucial role that licensed post offices play in delivering services to support local communities, particularly in regional, rural and remote Australia;
4. alternative business models to support the sustainability of Australia Post's retail network;
5. the adequacy of Australia Post's evidence to the Environment and Communications Legislation Committee at the 2026–27 Budget estimates' hearing on 27 May 2026;
6. and any other related matters.
Submissions are invited and close tomorrow Friday 7 August.
