I ask my local sole trader operating operating the post office franchise.... she can't make much money and can't sell the franchise.... she's trapped in a system designed to prop up the Aus Post.

The local mail delivery lady is getting on in years too and as a contractor.... she makes only enough to be slightly better than Newstart (after fuel costs) yet works all weather for long hours because she covers the whole town and rural properties for 10km around, on the prescribed Honda 100cc bike, and can't afford the insurances to replace herself if she's unwell. She's below the pension age so can't retire but she keeps slogging on.

These are the people who enable the Aus Post to make profits. Yet they got no bonus or Cartiere watches.
