asked the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, upon notice, on 14 March 2012:

Has Australia Post reduced its corporate security personnel numbers; if so, why.

Stephen Conroy (Victoria, Australian Labor Party, Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) Share this | Link to this | Hansard source

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

Staff numbers in Australia Post's Corporate Security Group (CSG) have reduced from 62 to 55 over the last 18 months due to several voluntary redundancies and several internal relocations. CSG continues to maintain offices in all mainland State capitals and the ACT. Security services to the business and customers have been enhanced over the past 18 months through process efficiencies and the introduction of new technology.
