Maths for Morons

Ok to be fair I think that a letter posted , containing at the most, about 10 pages, in Australia to anywhere else in Australia, for $1 if a pretty good deal.... given a week or two for it to get there...

And provided it does not contain cash, gift cards, passports, jewelery, personal ID containing documents like passports etc., etc., etc....

Or what is called plain toilet paper mail - like the minutes of the meeting about the Dirt Appreciation Societies "Dr Findicks lecture series on the top soil of the wine and citrus growing districts of ancient Gaul - in the periods of 500 AD - 1100 AD - it should get there.


However sending 50 letters, each of 120 pages, in PDF, as email attachments, for zilch - and instantly - is like - well there is no comparison to paying $4.50 a pop or $225 for the lot, via Australia Post for these either.

But this is an interesting thing....

Mr Fahour also defended his salary of $4.6 million a year - the highest paid public servant in Australia - saying 75 per cent of Australia Post's activity was commercial logistics and it was a "highly successful business".  The latest annual report revealed 409 managers and executives at Australia Post were earning more than $195,000 a year.  


The reforms are aimed at stemming the bleeding in Australia Post's letters division. Australia Post last week announced a first-half profit of just $98 million - a dive driven by mounting losses of $151 million in its letters business.



Let me see - Sack Ahmed - saves $6 million.

Get rid of the upper crust in the septic tank - say 410 x $200,000 = a saving of $82,000,000

Round it up a little for those who make MORE than $200,000 per year - that is probably a saving of $90,000,000 - $100,000,000 plus in dead beat wages right then and there.

That cuts the alleged losses from $151 million, to $50 million - just like that.

And hey - they can now pay all the shit kickers on the front line a decent living wage, instead of screwing them into the ground with "below the poverty line" wages...

Win - Win.
