Isnt Auspost only going to continue to make more and more as online shopping increases (is it increasing? i would have to assume it is) and selling it off would be a huge loving mistake?

Since when has that stopped the LNP from selling anything. Imagine how much money they would have if they still owned Telstra, the commbank and CSL. Hint, lots.

Making a profit means it's crowding out private businesses, and so should be privatised. Making a loss means it's inefficient, and so should be sold to reduce costs.

Laserface posted:So with car production winding up, when the gently caress are the protection tariffs on imported vehicles being removed? I need a new subaru. I believe the import tariff on cars from Japan was removed back in 2015, and some of the Subaru's had some huge price drops around then. Top of the line Outbacks and Libertys came down by around 10k, slightly smaller drops on the regular models. Not sure if the Impreza or Forester saw much of a price drop then, though.

Basically this. The league basically knew who the culprits were but wouldn't do anything about it and it was seriously hurting the game. She got sick of the BS and published the file. She got death threats, etc. One on the list complained to the Press Council here. It is unclear to me how the Tele got hold of the file but from what I remember of the controversy it wasn't that big a secret.

ASIO wants the right to lock anyone up and I'd give it 4 months before it ends in someone being dead, and 2.9 years before anyone finds out, as that would it past the next election. Mistakes will be made.

AusPost is losing a ton of money because of the letters branch of its service. It makes money on the parcel stuff. The problem is, they can't just drop the letter side of things.

I once met a postie who gave me a card saying I wasn't home and I asked him where my parcel was and he said I should collect it because he is running behind schedule or something. Do posties have a time limit like bus drivers for their routes?

I regularly get parcels delivered from Melbourne to regional NSW by auspost. Online tracking indicates: Day 1 - received by auspost in melbourne Day 2 - received in sydney facility Day 3 through 6 - *mystery* Day 7 - depart sydney, arrive north coast nsw If i chip in for express post, this compresses to two days tops. I suspect ordinary parcels are being deliberately held to make express more attractive.

Auspost flat out fails to deliver anything other than regular mail in my area, they will just drop the dumb "we missed you card" and then the parcel is ????????? until 9am/3pm the next day.

I think it's more likely that Sydney sorting is a shitfight mess central sorting facility for everything. They definitely sort the bulk of international parcels and, while I haven't posted to west-cost states, all of my Brisbane bound parcels have stopped off in a Sydney sorting facility first. They seem to only have the big VIC facility in Sunshine West and the NSW in C-something-I-forget.

Mr Chips posted:And on a good day they barely make the minimum wage... He got completely undercut by not only AP trying to drive down the price but people also willing to accept it knowing they could employ students etc. hosed over from two directions. I don't think the concept of outsourcing is bad per se as he made an OK living and his 'customers' used to love the service over previous arrangements - just poo poo oversight. The laws are already on the books for illegal workers. Yet we complain about the price of postage...
