SENATE INQUIRY INTO AUSTRALIA POST SCANDAL SUPPORTED
MEDIA RELEASE
Senator Pauline Hanson described the successful passage of her motion to refer matters leading to the standing down of Australia Post CEO, Ms Christine Holgate, to a Senate Committee for inquiry as “a giant step toward achieving some justice for Christine Holgate as well as the 80,000 staff and contractors of Australia Post”.
“You don’t get to falsely and savagely trash the career of one of the nation’s most successful business leaders for no reason and then get away with it.
“Christine Holgate should never have been made a political pawn – she’s an outstanding human being who’s achieved remarkable results at Australia Post for its stakeholders, 80,000 employees, around 2,900 Licensed Post Offices and who has the support of the unions.
“Her skills, determination and dedication have driven Australia Post to become the envy of its international counterparts.
“Having One Nation’s motion pass today means the Senate can now make a genuine effort to get to the bottom of this whole appalling saga.
“Senator Roberts and I will continue our efforts to ensure Christine Holgate is given the voice she deserves
“Subject to the inquiry’s finding and recommendations, Ms Holgate’s resumption of her duties as CEO is certainly one outcome we can hope for, along with an apology from the Prime Minster and a recanting of his savage comments. ”
