Vitamin company Blackmores chief executive Christine Holgate will be the new chief executive at Australia Post. First comments: Ms Holgate said she felt privileged to be appointed as CEO of such an iconic Australian corporation and, "one of the most resilient and successful postal businesses anywhere in the world". What she really means that she is either completely out of touch with reality or is a weasel wording corporate bullshit artist. What she said can be rephrased as "Australia Post is dying a lingering death and is an abject failure - that pretty much everyone in Australia it totally fed up with all their bullshit and is using other delivery services - if only to get away from the stolen parcels, late deliveries, being carded and bad service." Qualifies as being able to talk out her arse. [ ] Tick Previous Job. Snake Oil Salesman to the Profoundly Neurotic - "Ease your ailments with our potent magic pills".

Precarious work structures foster parasite economy that cut workers' pay Josh Bornstein July 28 2016 - 12:00AM http://www.smh.com.au/business/comment-and-analysis/precarious-work-structures-foster-parasite-economy-that-cut-workers-pay-20160727-gqetwy.html In the lead up to the federal election, Woolworths got lucky.

Woolworths was spared the sort of ignominy that 7-Eleven has suffered after exposure of its own wage fraud scandal. The workplace watchdog's report excoriates Woolworths for its mistreatment of the workers caught up in "complex labour supply chains with networks of corporate structures and intermediaries to facilitate cash payments, recruitment of vulnerable workers and production of false records"....
This is a nice succinct article on the traps and tribulations of giving and getting gift cards... Not absolutely all encompassing, but detailed enough - i.e. Read the FINE print before buying. True to form, Australia Post's gift card, if they didn't get stolen in the mail, or since the Australian population has wised up to the thieving scumbags in Australia Post, and it's apathetic "shit for brains" managemnent, who refuse to act on anything, perhaps no one is actually sending things through the post, and are actually giving them in person.... Well Australia Post's gift cards attract a bunch of shitty "make the scumbag CEO and his cash sucking cronies a bit richer", type fees.... Again - better value to be had else where. http://www.smh.com.au/comment/my-advice-before-you-dig-deep-and-buy-gift-cards-this-christmas-20161220-gtf0ki.html Take the Australia Post Visa Prepaid gift card for example. You have to fork out $6 to buy the card, $4 to speak with...
