Like many Australians in lockdown, Kirsty Webeck has been spending a lot of time at home.
“When I go to the post office it often looks like the main stage at Splendour in the Grass. They are creating a super-spreader event at Australia Post.” According to the postal worker’s union, the practice of leaving a collection slip in someone’s mailbox – or “carding” – is on the rise due to Australia Post’s employment of subcontractors who are paid by the parcel.
Donna Ciccia, who lives in Coogee in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, said most of her online deliveries were being transported directly to the post office. It’s a situation she describes as frustrating and ironic.“But then we have to go to the post office and wait in line with lots of people. Often the lines go down the street.”
Thankfully I'm in an area where my postie is able to leave the parcels safely by my door. If that's also you and you're still grizzling then organise a permanent ATL with the post office.
This article was overdue. Standard press spokesperson feeding the party line but the guts of the story is 100% accurate as anyone who ever breathed air in Australia knows.

Twice in 10 days I've had text messages from AusPost saying my parcel is ready for collection from LPO. No-one rang my doorbell. No card was left in my letterbox. Just straight to the PO.

Why aren’t Australia Post drivers knocking on your door?They are required to knock on the door three times and call out when possible, but a growing number of people say postal delivery drivers are just leaving collection slips. | henriettacook henriettacook Or they just knock/ring the doorbell and leave if you don't get to the door within 3 seconds... henriettacook Heard a knock on the door, briskly walked from back of house to front, only to see van driving off. Knock and run delivery. Card must be pre-written! henriettacook Then auspost don't know what their drivers are doing. We are at home in lockdown with cars in the driveway and still get 'sorry we missed you' cards in the letterbox. Maybe I can charge them for having to go and do their job when I collect from local post office?

PM quizzed on why he took so long to say sorryBREAKING: It took Scott Morrison days of pressure to finally front up and offer a proper apology to Australians for the bungled Covid vaccine rollout. But today, he finally said it. Details: This guy is to blame for the complete failure of getting covid under control. As if when ordering vaccine last year he would not have seen what other countries were ordering, ie multiple supplies of pfizer AND Astrazenica. Shame. jenny told him to say it, so he did. The word sorry was uttered but not in the context of a true apology. Nice try.

Why we wanted the Prime Minister to say ‘I’m sorry’Apologies assure others that you value a certain standard and acknowledge that you have not done enough to meet it. Resign is a better word. Paul Keating On the Liberal’s Remember Howard's apology to the stolen generation? Yeah me neither. The Right Wing struggle with sorry, it's strange, they expect it of others.
