Oh dear I have started something.

But I'm certainly going to put my two bobs worth in because I too used work for Aus Post, very long hours at night 9.15pm - 5.30am sorting the mail.  And what a boring andumping dumbing job, but do you know what?  Australia post pay very well and they get loads of benefits that other agencies don't.  It was the best damn job I ever had whilst at uni.  I got 5 full uniforms including shoes socks and belts, about three different types of jumpers, jackets and wind coats....the superannuation is extremely good.  What more do you want?  I was one of the lowest paid staff there, and was still on a high wage.

i know I wasn't a postie, but I made many friends that are posties, and their entitlements are just the same.  The wage is high enough for what they do?  They drive a bike around all day delivering things.....

Why on earth is it a thankless job?  I pay a top premium for my mail to be delivered and to be delivered safely.  Part of the job is to go up and knock on doors and deliver mail.  Just do your job?  Do be so lazy.  We pay for things to be delivered with signature then I certainly expected the people delivering it to do what I paid for.   Especially if I am going to be paying $2.95 for it.
