Why does Australia Post's letter delivery have to make a profit?
The organisation made $312 million profit overall last year, and can cross-subsidise letters from parcel delivery.
The government simply wants to cut letter delivery and management costs to fatten up Australia Post for privatisation.
Letter delivery is a community service, particularly for the elderly and disabled. Once again, the most disadvantaged will miss out if the service is cut.
