He's unhinged.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

It's bleeding cash and they're trying to get a billion dollars out of Australians.

And he's saying this is hurting businesses all over the country.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler

Like he sends out, you know, microphones and all sorts of gear by post.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
When The House Stops Winning

People order online and he's got to post it out.

And I think he's making a really good point that the government with the monopoly with Australia Post should not be stoking inflation with above inflation increases in basic utilities that are so important for the operations of the economy such as Australia Post.

But then I had a look at the Australia Post annual report, Alan.

The Money Café with Alan Kohler
