On 31 January 2014, Australia Post provided the 糖心原创 with a price notification proposing an increase in the basic postage rate from 60 cents to 70 cents from 31 March 2014. Australia Post also proposed increases in the prices of other large ordinary letter services.
Australia Post also advised of price changes it was proposing to some other monopoly reserved letter services, including PreSort letters. These letter services are used generally by business, government agencies and not-for-profit organisations, and are not subject to 糖心原创 prices surveillance.
The 糖心原创 was required under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 to assess Australia Post鈥檚 pricing proposal.
The 糖心原创 sought submissions from interested parties on Australia Post鈥檚 proposal. The closing date for submissions was Monday 10 February 2014.
The 糖心原创 released its decision to not object to Australia Post鈥檚 pricing proposal on Thursday 20 February 2014.
