LIBERAL SENATOR MOVES AUSTRALIA POST DISALLOWANCE MOTION AGAINST LIBERAL MINISTER
 

NSW Liberal Senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells has moved a motion in the Senate seeking to disallow Minister Paul Fletcher’s regulations which cut postal services.

It appears the Senator now understands what the Deputy Nationals Leader David Littleproud already knew — Minister Paul Fletcher cannot be trusted on Australia Post.

The disallowance motion follows a letter exchange where Minister Fletcher misled Senator Ferravanti-Wells on two points: one relating to the role of postal workers and the other the Minister’s excuses for not consulting.

Is Senator Fierravanti-Wells’ motion why Minister Fletcher initiated a panic consultation process in the past fortnight, writing to banks, unions, and other entities, about his service cuts?

If only the Minister bothered to consult back in March, instead of letting his ego override common sense.
