Bill: Post Office Act Amendment
Details
Submitted by[?]: Unity Labour Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: June 4229
Description[?]:
| Mr Speaker we believe that in the age of technological advancement that this service isn't a necessity for the state to have control over. State ownership of post offices has seen tremendous losses and cost burden on the state as the demand for such services has dropped. Thus we believe that the market should take charge of post offices and surely soon these post offices will go obsolete and demand continues to drop. However they may also be reformed as the free market may creatively think of something new to peak interest of consmers, through the buses of technology or better customer services to raise demand. |
