When is Australia Post delivery times being reduced to less days?

As a result of media hype and misinformation a number of people believe Australia Post has already reduced the number of delivery days each week. This was first flagged as being proposed mid last year.

However when I heard about reduced delivery days and priority mail being introduced it made no sense at all. How could you have a priority service delivering every day and not have deliveries every day?

I found the following on the Australia Post site. The deliveries of mail it appears will continue to be five days a week which makes sense. Extending the time of delivery of mail for standard mail is something that can be done and costs reduce. The general public will end up paying the same price for lower level of service. If they wish to have the same level of service as current, they'll end up paying a premium price. Although it does make you wonder how they'll end up splitting the two groups of mail, but that of course is Australia Posts problem.
