Australia news live: Christine Holgate says she was ‘bullied’ out of her job as Australia Post boss

Suffice to say if it was not for this committee, [the] Australia Post chairman would likely have succeeded in getting away with lying to the Australian people, to their Senate, to the employees and partners of Australia Post, not least would he have ever been held to account for the bullying of myself.

My evidence is backed up by hard facts, written proof. It is undeniably independent witnesses, it is veritable. In contrast, the evidence of the chairman of Australia Post is fabricated. He fabricated the agreement by myself to stand down and he continues to do so today. I believe he did so to save his own position from political peril and because it amounted he would never be called to account for his actions.

He has also lied about very important matters relating to the future of Australia Post. This must not be allowed to stand.
