asked the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, upon notice, on 24 February 2012:

With reference to an article in Ashcroft 2012 Reflections & Insight dated 1 January 2012, headed 'Australia Post is up to no good with Clause 22!', can Australia Post provide: (a) a detailed response to the matters raised in the article; and (b) an explanation for its conduct surrounding these matters.

The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:

As this matter is still the subject of confidential negotiations between Australia Post and the Licensee it would be inappropriate to make any public comment on the article in question. However, Australia Post has advised it has no plans to withdraw postal services from the Vaucluse community and has kept the Member for Wentworth, the Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP, abreast of the situation.
