Unions advocate for former Australia Post CEO Christine Holgate at public hearing

Several unions have spoken in defence of former Australia Post CEO Christine Holgate at a public hearing addressing problems concerning the embattled executive and the postal service more broadly. Ms Holgate was forced out of Australia Post last year after it was revealed four executives had been awarded Cartier watches worth a total of $20,000. She has since been cleared of misusing taxpayer funds but said her position was untenable after Mr Morrison’s intervention where he pushed for her resignation. Today at the public hearing hosted by the Senate, Environment and Communications References Committee into the Australia Post the Licensed Post Office Groupe and the CEPU both spoke in Ms Holgate’s favour. CEPU National Secretary Greg Rayner called for all board members to be sacked and a new board to be appointed through an independent process. “The entire board needs to go,” he said. A report released by the Boston Consulting Group did not receive a positive response from the unions after it recommended changes including privatising the parcel business which would result in job losses.
