I have had my fill of Australia Post and their bullshit for this week.


I might have a holiday from their crap for a few days.

Australia Post gets a Snake Oil Salesman as it's new CEO.

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".

Australia Post - The "Gift Cards" - if they don't get stolen in the post, are shit value too.

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...

I say this, Fahour says that.

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, ...
