The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission today issued its third report assessing cross-subsidy between the services provided by Australia Post.
The report analyses the 2006-07 regulatory accounts of Australia Post to establish whether their competitive activities (non-reserved services) are being cross-subsidised with revenue from their monopoly activities (reserved services).
"The regulatory accounts do not provide evidence that Australia Post is subsidising its non-reserved services from its reserved services," ACCC Chairman, Mr Graeme Samuel, said.
"Logistics, which is one of the non-reserved services, once again received a subsidy in 2006-07. However, the source of the subsidy to logistics is the other non-reserved services."
The 2006–07 cross subsidy monitoring report will be available on the ACCC website.
