For me the real questions are:
"Is the Post Office a business?"
and
"Is the Post Office a public good?"

Back in the day, the Country Party represented people outside the major cities. Over time, they became the party of agricultural corporations and (particularly) miners. They betrayed the people. Then they became the National Party.

Like much of Australia's public good, our ABC has been weakened and corrupted by right-wing governments. Public sector media is (or should be) a substantial part of the nation's anti-corruption infrastructure. The cynic in me suspects that's why the ABC was attacked.
Given its evident significance, should the role of public sector media be enshrined in our Constitution?

It's all a conspiracy. Apparently. Or maybe several conspiracies. To find out, you'll have to pay.

The problems have not been solved, at least in part, because the people in charge have not been listening. Hence the need for a Voice that must Constitutionally be heard, if not acted upon. #auspol #TheVoice #voice

When the US Constitution was written, the only entity that its authors could imagine having more power than the government was the Church. (In 1789, corporations were very rare, limited in purpose, and often had limited life spans.)
Corporations, as we know them today, were creations of legislatures *after* the Constitution was written. These artificial entities should not be seen as having any more "rights" than other creations of a legislature.
Corporations aren't people.
