That's interesting.
I would rephrase this in the context of the service charter. There are two elements of the service charter that you might not be as familiar with, Mr. Rosendorff, as Ms. Beale and Mr. Bennett would be. Section 10 of the service charter talks about how close postal outlets need to be to individuals; 98% of individuals need to live within 15 kilometres of a post office. It doesn't go to the last 2% of individuals. It also says that as of a cut-off point back in the nineties, there will be no more closing of rural post offices. There are still some closures of rural post offices when they can no longer staff them and local communities agree that it would be okay because they would be served by a nearby community.
Is that a standard that we should adhere to? Should we reset the baseline for rural community service based on the service standards? Should we put in an extra category for within 25 kilometres? Should we move the goalposts and then impose a new moratorium? Is this something that we should consider as a cost-saving measure? Should we maybe provide more expanded services in one community that serves as a hub rather than trying to be all things to all people in all places, which might not be a capital investment we want to make?
I open it to each of the three of you to speak.
Mr. Bennett.
