Peter Hunt appeared in the Australian Financial Review, March 18, speaking on the mutualisation of UK Post Office and the implications for Australia Post.

“You can maintain the social purpose of the business which is the post offices, the bit that people get really hot under the collar about because they want their rural office and access to those services, and turn that part of the business into a mutual organisation as is happening in the UK,” Mr Hunt said.
