Australia Post’s daily delivery service will be cut from daily to every second day under proposed reforms by the Albanese government.

This follows the national mail carrier announcing a A$200 million (US$132 million) dollar loss in the 2023 financial year, noting the “declining letters business” was weighing heavily on the parcel business.
