Constituency questions

North-Eastern Metropolitan Region

Sonja TERPSTRA (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:42): (1439) My constituency question is for the Minister for Government Services in the other place. Australia Post has recently closed the post office at Macedon Square in Templestowe. This has upset a number of constituents who live in and around Templestowe but who have come to rely on visiting the Australia Post office not only to post or collect their mail but to access other important services like paying their utility bills or to withdraw or deposit cash. Minister, how can our government advocate to Australia Post to ensure that local residents and businesses who have come to rely on AusPost services can continue to access such vital services at Templestowe that are local, convenient and accessible?
