Kinglake postal services
Cindy McLEISH (Eildon) (10:06): The decision by Australia Post making changes to parcel delivery in Kinglake and surrounds is an appalling attack on small business and small communities. Not only does this change impact the viability of the two local post offices, it also threatens the community fabric. Not only do community members go to the post office to pay bills, do their banking, purchase gifts and other products, but it is also where they go to connect with community members. These businesses are critical to the heart and health of the communities on the Kinglake Ranges. The next closest town is 25 kilometres away with no public transport option. This is an appalling attack on Kinglake.
