Government appears to have narrow mindness about a postal service.  One that serves nearly every person in country who has little choice of carrier.  They scream about anti-competitive in so many sectors like supermarkets, yet being hypocritical about running their own postal monopoly.

They sold off all government taxpayers assets and spent the money, but are they actually doing us a favour by not selling Australia Post to private enterprise and losing control and we are worse off ?

Yet AP only Charges the Chinese AUD $4 to deliver 1kg parcels within Australia when sent from China/HK.

Aussies have been subsidising Chinese sellers for many years and instead of charging them $8 and everyday Aussies $8, we get slugged so that China can enjoy Aust Post service (cough!) on the cheap.
