With the Treasurer announcing his approval yesterday for the take over of Toll Holdings by Japan Post, he has set the stage for intensified pressure on government owned Australia Post.
While much of the pressure will be felt at the delivery end of the Australia Post business, there could be implications for the retail side of the business including licenced Post businesses.
The acquisition, even the proposal of the acquisition, is a reminder that things change and we need to be prepared for change in our businesses.
