That this House:

(1)

recognises the:

(a)

difficulty that rural communities of Blackbutt and Benarkin encounter regarding insurance premiums, immigration arrangements and mail delivery inefficiencies due to having the same postcode as Ipswich; and

(b)

request by the far Western Queensland community of Bedourie, which has the same postcode as a town 200 kilometres away, to be assigned its own postcode to improve mail delivery inefficiencies; and

(2)

calls on the Government to amend the Australian Postal Corporation Act 1989 to allow the communities of Blackbutt, Benarkin, Bedourie and others with similar difficulties to receive their own unique postcode.
