The government owned Australia Post retail outlet opposite my newsagency at Forest Hill was closed today. Yes, they pick and choose how they interpret the Act of Parliament under which they conduct their retail network.
Today’s closure is arrogant and demonstrates the value of their monopoly. An unprotected business could not close today. No major shopping centre landlord would stand for it.
I am annoyed because I rely on Australia Post to draw people to our end of the centre.
if it’s good enough for an independent small business to carry the cost of public holiday penalty rates then it’s good enough for a protected government owned retail chain.
