But that posties wages, for an unviable service, is adding to the cost of postage, which causes inflation, and therefore not good for the economy. A Catch 22 situation.

Mmmmm, with the advent of Temu even our little town is stacked high with parcels every day . We are lucky in one way. It wouldn't make much difference if they moved ours. Middle of town or edge of town is about the same,lol.

Thanks for that information. I'm surprised they even keep a postbox for 30 letters week. All these postboxes need to be emptied every day, adding to the cost of mail, which people keep complaining about. I guess we can't have it all ways.

Onli Online tracking is usually for parcels, not letters, and the majority of parcels don't fit in a mailbox . Letters are down 65% because most people send emails these days. Nothing to do with postboxes.

That's unfortunate, why would they move the actual Post Office,.not just the postbox?

In this case it appears that the system is in error and the fine should be dropped, although I wonder why her appeal was rejected. It didn't say she wasn't wearing a seatbelt but that they were being worn incorrectly?? I really wonder about the mentality of people who don't wear their seatbelts...

How many people would use a postbox to mail gifts to grand children etc That's a bit of a silly statement. You actually need to take them into the PO to find out the cost. Even oversized letters these days do not go for a standard mail cost so not much sense in taking a wild guess and leaving...

You usually find the people who criticise Bali are the ones who have never been there. I'm off back there next August with my best friend, we Iove the beaches,the countryside, the food and the beautiful Balinese people.

It wasn't in Bali, it was Laos. I've been going to Bali for the of last 35 years, without any problems. YOu need to keep your wits about you travelling anywhere in the world. What parts of Bali have you stayed in to form this opinion

Us older folk still get our stamps at a concession rate. The younger generation and business now use email and this is the reason for the decline in snail mail making the service unviable. Only a very small percentage of people still use this service

Maybe he lives too far out of town to get deliveries. Many farmers etc have PO boxes as they don't get deliveries. A usual occurrence in the country.

Now, yes that could happen, but my sister in-law is here having coffee with me, says she's never worked anywhere where they put steaks in the warmer, they stew in their own juices. Or so she says, lol.

Sorry but your wrong. I have been in business all my working life. If a part of your business is not profitable you either find a way to make it profitable or you quit it. You don't let a failing part of a business drag down the rest, unless your stupid . If Australia Post wasn't a public...

I have had that happen, but not that quick.

Oh, heaven help us, another one.

You're probably right, but all sections of a business need to be operating efficiently and profitably, not one section propping up another. Irregardless of whether it is a public or private business. I am aware the CEO etc earn ridiculous amounts but I'm sure it isn't anywhere near $361.8...

Then why did they even bother to post it on the internet and then say they want to be anonymous. And how do you end up with maggots on a steak that has just been cooked The cooking process would kill them, unless you left the steak sitting around long enough for it to get flyblown and then wait...

Me too, they are still cheap for concession holders.

What common sense idea do you recommend. I've been in business most of my life, as were my family. Any person who was running a business making these sort of losses would do the most sensible, common sense thing, and quit. IMO we should just cop the 20 cent rise and stop complaining about this...

First sensible reply so far Come on 20c cents rise, most average people wouldn't send 10 letters a year, a whole $2/year. I would rather receive a phone call or SMS on my birthday than friends wasting money on cards, which end up in the bin a few days later.
