Sounds like the post processing will now lag 4-5 days behind, once the stamps jump to $1. And we still get no mail on the weekend* a year after the UK (Royal Mail) says they will deliver on Sundays...

Aside from some parcels which can now be given a special Saturday sticker, for an extra cost, of course. Naturally, it only applies to Express Post no less, meaning $$$.

First world problems indeed, when will Australia grow out of the antiquated Monday to Friday routine? If we can have 24 hour McDonald's restaurants, even remaining open throughout Easter, surely the post office can afford to stay open for all of four hours on a Sunday. The fact they are only open until 1PM on a Saturday is already a joke in itself.
