RWNZ opposes NZ Post's proposed cuts to rural mail services, citing concerns for vulnerable populations.

Rural Women New Zealand (RWNZ) is concerned about proposed cuts to New Zealand Post services that may reduce mail deliveries in rural areas from five to three days a week and decrease postal outlets from 880 to 500. Critics argue this could burden vulnerable populations. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment is consulting on these changes, aiming for sustainability in response to declining mail use. Public feedback is open until December 10, 2024.
