Privatize Australia Post! Privatize it NOW!
Open the postal sector up to free competition! Other countries have done it and they didn't collapse into anarchy! Even Sweden, one of the countries that from my brother's account seems to be most likely to collapse into a communist dictatorship, has done it! Australia Post needs to be privatized and the postal sector opened up to competition.
Australia Post's:
And don't get me started with remarks like: "What about the people living in rural areas?". I've had quite enough of funding the lifestyle decisions of people who choose to live in rural areas. They can find out just how much their decision is costing the rest of us!
Privatize Australia Post! Privatize it NOW!
Australia Post's:
- Diabolical customer service
- Absolutely ridiculous opening hours (have you ever tried to pick up a packet delivered to your house when you work full-time?)
- General ignorance about the services they actually offer (try sending something use Print Post Direct International, and you'll see what I mean)
- Need I go on?

The situation is a little more confused. In Sweden the postal service is owned by the government, but the shop-front trading has been outsourced to places like 7-Eleven, international mail sorting/delivery has been outsourced to the Danish postal service and the government stopped an attempted by the Swedish Postal Service to outsource Swedish Business mail delivery. But I can pick up my mail from 8:00 to 19:00 every day of the week.
From what I know of Australia Post the retail arm has largely been sold off - so most of the Post Shops are actually private. I am not sure how regulated these are, or what factors are limiting the trading hours. But from what I understand the sell-off resulted in Post Shops selling stationary, teddy bears, etc ...
