| Message | Mr Speaker, This Bill achieves none of the Hon Member's objectives. The post office wouldn't become privatised, it would only remove regulations on the private agencies. This would not improve conditions for postal workers, but would only result in poorer service from the private-sector post offices! Frank McConnell, Solidarity Parliamentary Leader |
