Government Backs In Its Postal Service Cuts
GOVERNMENT BACKS IN ITS POSTAL SERVICE CUTS
Today in the House of Representatives the Morrison Government stood by its regulations which slash Australia Post services and threaten jobs and wages.
Labor Leader Anthony Albanese moved to disallow the regulations which cut the frequency of postie delivery rounds, extend mail delivery times for millions of Australians and put the jobs of up to one in four posties and many others at risk.
The Prime Minister was so desperate to stop debate he used his majority to silence Labor on his Australia Post service and job cuts.
Many Australians, including isolated, vulnerable and older Australians and those living in regional areas, rely on regular postal services.
These regulations rip away services from Australians who need them most.
Labor considers the parcels boom an opportunity to preserve and create jobs — not cut them.
The Morrison Government has used the coronavirus pandemic as cover for an attack on essential services and frontline workers.
