The Communication Workers Union is calling for an audit of the lease arrangements for all post offices in the ACT and NSW, with the revelation the Civic Square post office in Canberra will close before Christmas after being on a month-to-month lease for an estimated two years.
The union's NSW/ACT secretary Shane Murphy said the post office had been informed by the Canberra Centre's owners, Queensland Investment Corporation, it had to vacate the space on Bunda Street by the end of November, at the height of the Christmas parcel and mail rush.
