澳大利亚邮政首席执行官保罗·格雷厄姆近日宣布该公司正面临"生死之战"1，这一表态反映了该机构因信件递送量大幅下滑而面临的严峻挑战。去年信件递送量下跌15%，已降至1930年代以来的最低水平，全年仅递送14.2亿封信件1。为应对这一困境，澳大利亚邮政已将信件递送改为隔日一次，并计划将邮资从当前的1.85澳元上涨至2澳元1。格雷厄姆估计这一涨幅每年仅会增加普通家庭不足1澳元的成本1。
尽管面临信件业务的衰退，澳大利亚邮政在其他领域取得了进展。包裹和服务业务实现创纪录收入8.01亿澳元1，最新财政年度税前利润达3180万澳元，部分由房产销售收益支撑1。在应对邮资上涨可能引发的公众反对时，格雷厄姆明确排除了采用社区邮箱制度的计划，坚持保留传统的家庭递送服务1。澳大利亚邮政目前在全国运营超过4000个零售网点，其中约2500个位于地区和偏远地区1。
Australia Post's Chief Executive Officer Paul Graham has declared the organization is engaged in a "fight of our lives," citing a sharp decline in letter delivery volumes that has reached levels unseen since the 1930s 1. The postal service delivered 1.42 billion letters last year, representing a decline of nearly 15 percent compared to the previous year 1. Letter delivery has been shifted to every second day, and the organization is considering raising postage rates to AUD 2, up from the current minimum of AUD 1.85 1.
Graham estimates that a further increase to AUD 2 per letter would add less than AUD 1 annually to costs for typical households 1. Despite these pressures, Australia Post has ruled out adopting community mailbox systems, opting instead to maintain traditional home delivery services 1. The organization operates more than 4,000 retail outlets nationwide, with approximately 2,500 located in regional and remote areas 1.
The company's financial performance has been bolstered by strong performance in parcels and services, which generated record revenue of AUD 801 million 1. Australia Post reported a pre-tax profit of AUD 31.8 million for the latest financial year, with earnings partially supported by property sales 1.
