FOLLOWING the recent announcement by Australia Post (AusPost) to halve its letter delivery frequency to every second day, a leading university professor warned the impact on rural and regional areas may be significant.

The federal government agreed to change the law to relax Auspost’s requirements for letter delivery, acknowledging Australians send far fewer letters than they used to.
