My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Communications. Pre corporatisation, the Australia Post CEO received $360,000 a year. Ahmed Fahour, the current CEO, enjoys $5.6 million. France's postal service CEO receives $1 million, whilst the United States postal service CEO receives only $550,000. Pre Fahour, stamps cost 50c; they are now $1—Minister, no more Christmas cards. In 2014, Australia Post sacked 900 staff. In the same year, Mr Fahour's Australia Post donated $2.8 million to his brother's Islamic museum. Minister, in light of Australia Post's generosity, could I get $30,000 to repair the Catholic church in Julia Creek?
