As one person in a newspaper comment section noted:

Australia Post is spending Mega Bux to buy a mail sorting machine, to separate the SLOW mail from the Priority mail....

The idiot 2 speed mail system.

Well the comment was when times get hard - all the other business's focus on doing a better job of supplying services and goods, and cutting costs etc...

Australia Post - with it's idiot job shopping CEO, raises the cost of sending mail, from 65c t0 $1 for the slow mail and another 50c on top of that, for the priority mail....

And then figures out ways to SLOW DOWN mail deliveries AND do even less deliveries....

Big expensive machines - to be as badly run as their parcel sorting machines...

(Dickheads)

And a 3 day a week delivery service.



Duh....

Paying way more for even less service, at a worse level than is currently implemented?


It just smacks of insanity.


So what can I say:

Australia Post four fly business class to Europe despite $222 million loss

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/australia-post-four-fly-business-class-to-europe-despite-222-million-loss/

AUSTRALIA Post paid $32,000 for four business-class fares and accommodation in Europe for a tour of a new mail machine that will help sort its new two-speed letter service.

Two managers and two union officials were flown to the factory in Zurich, Switzerland, this month to see how the machine worked.

The machinery had already been purchased but the four-day trip was designed to plan how to roll it out here.

The trip cost $32,000, yet Australia Post delivered a loss of $222 million in the last ­financial year.

Stamps for regular mail, which will take up to six days to deliver, increased to $1 this month.

Priority letters, delivered in one to four business days, increased another 50c as part of the spike.
