A Newcastle licensed post office that fought to keep its doors open has entered liquidation, as Australia Post champions reforms it says will make its services more efficient and financially sustainable.
TNT Family Pty Ltd, which traded as Lambton Post Office and Lambton Nextra Newsagency, entered liquidation on Friday, according to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).
The business’ closure caps off a campaign from owner-operator Trish Firth, who argued the licensed post office (LPO) should remain operational after Australia Post decided not to renew its fixed-term contract.
Firth said Australia Post’s decision, which came earlier this year, came as a surprise to herself and customers of the Elder Street facility.
