Senator Abetz asked the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, upon notice, on 6 August 2012: (1) Does Australia Post verify each Licensed Post Office’s (LPOs) claim for payment for street carded articles; if so, how. (2) What is the rate of remuneration for the street carded articles for LPOs as opposed to the corporate offices. (3) Does Australia Post make approaches to large volume customers of mail/express post and parcel services and offer discounts or incentives to deal direct with Australia Post; if so, how does this impact on LPOs.
