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".

The employee agreed to talk with The Courier on condition of anonymity. Under Australia Post employment conditions, it is a breach of conduct to discuss with the media any issues relating to the organisation. “Routinely, rounds are being left unprocessed due to insufficient staff. Four days is not an exaggera...
PETER RYAN: Speaking of the future, you're also looking at drone technology for deliveries. How could customers receive a parcel in the future from Australia Post? AHMED FAHOUR: We did this year do some trials, where we looked at: can we use a drone, for example, in regional and rural communities? Because sometimes the farmhouse isn't necessarily right at the gate. It could be quite a few kilometres in. And if our drivers were driving past, could we potentially get the item to our customers at their doorstep? **We put, very high on our pedestal, we put regional and rural customers because they are, by and large, a very important lifeblood of who Australia Post is. And so we want to try these innovations.** (What Forhours actually means is that, at it's very best - or nearly so, unless they can autonomously launch a drone from a moving vehicle or at least a short pause in the travelling, and have it land as well, and it has a range of 50 - 100+Km, and a short recharge time, ...
