ACCC questions stamp price increase
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has called for comment on Australia Post’s proposal to increase the price of the basic postage stamp.
The ACCC today released an issues paper seeking comment on Australia Post’s proposal to increase the basic postage rate from 55 cents to 60 cents, as well as increases in the price of other mail services including large and small ordinary letters, large and small pre-sort ordinary letters, clean mail, reply paid mail, impact mail and local delivery mail.
Australia Post lodged a draft notification with the ACCC containing the proposals. The ACCC are now seeking submissions from interested parties on key issues.
Submissions should reach the ACCC by September 18. The draft notification, issues paper and submissions received will be available on the ACCC’s website.

Australia Post calls for stamp price increase
What a total rip off,nothing but money grabbing.
Service is becoming more and more of a joke and it seems charges to send packages are made up on the day.
I will be doing far more emailing rather than using Australia post if this happens
what rubbish, they AusPost have already increased their parcel costs twice this year! Maybe they should cut staff down, instead of increasing costs!
why why why
they have only recently gone up
can’t they absorb the costs for just another 6 months – things are tough enough now!
So does this mean sevice will improve?
Does this mean people will actually GET their mail undamaged(or at all)
Shame on you Aussie Post
Yet another suggestion that adds weight to my prediction that higher inflation combined with higher interest rates are on the way! Stagflation here we come!
