Prime Minister Scott Morrison told Sydney’s 2GB radio that he stands by his statement made in Parliament earlier this week that Australia Post chief executive Christine Holgate “can go” if she did not wish to stand aside but noted that it was a matter for its board.

“This is a government business enterprise. Its owned by the taxpayers of Australia,” Morrison said on Friday. “So every dollar that goes through Australia Post is managed on behalf of Australian taxpayers and it should be done in a way that respects taxpayers.”
