Australia Post Gutted: 250 Post Offices CLOSED While CEO Paid Millions | Citizens Report 29 Oct 2026

Australia Post is closing post offices, selling off valuable property and paying its CEO millions — while communities lose access to essential services. This week on the Citizens Report, Robert Barwick and Richard Bardon discuss the campaign to save Australia’s post office network, the financial decisions behind its decline, and the case for a publicly owned bank operating through post offices. They examine CEO Paul Graham’s $3.1 million pay packet and how the sale of Australia Post’s property assets masked a $107 million underlying loss. They also revisit Christine Holgate’s fight to protect and expand Bank@Post, the $220 million deal with major banks, and how her ousting raised questions about the future of banking through post offices, particularly in regional communities.
