MEDIA RELEASE - DISALLOWANCE OF AUSTRALIA POST REGULATIONS - 25 AUGUST 2020

DISALLOWANCE OF AUSTRALIA POST REGULATIONS


Labor is disappointed Scott Morrison’s cuts to Australia Post services were last night permitted by the Senate.
 
Since these regulations were announced, the Government has hopped from one false claim to another to justify their pre-planned cuts.
 
At each step, they have been called out and their incompetence exposed.
 
Labor and the unions have been successful in securing the jobs and wages of postal workers, but we remain disappointed that COVID-19 has been used as cover to bypass consultation, implement a pre-existing agenda, and degrade services.
 
Labor will continue to stand up for workers and community services, and hold this Government to account.
