Christmas Mail Delays and Greetings Drop Across Victoria
Postal officials link fewer Christmas greetings to industrial unrest and coal strikes, with Victoria handling about 248,000 more letters than last year between December 1 and 15. Melbourne and suburbs show a surge, while rural areas report declines, possibly due to new rates and financial stringency. Officials expect improvements next year as mail operations reorganize to reduce delivery delays.
