Former Australia Post boss Christine Holgate is weighing up the next steps in her legal action against the government and her former employer, after a mediation deadline looks set to pass with no action. She claims she was “bullied” out of her job and left with no choice but to resign, something the government and the Australia Post board vehemently deny. “We have been advised the government requires more time to consider the offer to mediate and that Australia Post will not be able to meet the deadline,” the statement said. The Australia Post board chair, Lucio Di Bartolomeo, told the committee he had been happy to participate in mediation, but the turnaround was too tight. “If you try and privatise Australia Post, you’ll be in deep doo-doo,” he said.
