My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Communications, Cyber Safety and the Arts, Senator Reynolds. The CEO of Australia Post argued as justification for the government's proposed changes to service requirements that there was a 50 per cent drop in addressed-letter volumes. But today Australia Post admitted that the drop in addressed-letter volume for March was seven times smaller than it had claimed, and largely in line with forecasts. Why hasn't the government been honest with the Australian people about why it wants to slash postal services?
