Former Australia Post boss Christine Holgate is weighing up the next steps in her legal action against the government and her former employer, after a mediation deadline looks set to pass with no action.
Holgate, through her lawyers, released a statement ahead of the latest Senate committee hearing into the circumstances of her departure from Australia Post, saying the offer to mediate her claims would expire at 5pm on Wednesday.
Holgate resigned from Australia Post following two weeks of furore over revelations, raised in Senate estimates in October 2020, that she had used Australia Post funds to gift four executives Cartier watches as a thank you for their work on the Bank@Post program in 2018. She claims she was âbulliedâ out of her job and left with no choice but to resign, something the government and the Australia Post board vehemently deny.
