Farcical AusPost Weight Limit Forces Gippsland Farmer Reduction
Aidan Knight and Liam Durkin report that the world has gone mad due to a move that defies reason and regional reality.
Gippsland Farmer, the region's highest-circulating rural publication, has been reduced in size due to a bureaucratic blunder from Australia Post headquarters.
For the Christmas period, Australia Post will not deliver copies of the newspaper to rural letterboxes unless each copy weighs less than 100 grams.
- Usual weight: around 130 grams for a 48-page issue
- New weight limit: 100 grams
- Resulting page reduction: from 48 pages to 36 pages
The world truly has gone mad.
Australia Post's latest directive seems determined to widen the tyranny of distance, rather than bridging it.
Author's summary: AusPost's weight limit reduces Gippsland Farmer size.
