Description: A New Zealand Post employee smiles as he weighs a parcel and says to the old woman at the counter 'Don't worry. None of our Whangarei branches will be closing. But soon you'll be weighing, putting the stamps on and posting your mail all by yourself'. The old lady says 'Oh dear! Will you be providing a bicycle?' Context - Up to 20 New Zealand Post shops and Kiwibank outlets are set to close, meaning dozens of staff are going to lose their jobs. NZ Post says it's losing $40 million on its 304 shops, which is a cost CEO Brian Roche says is unsustainable and continuing to rise. (TV3 15 April 2011) Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

Description: The scene is a very typical house in a suburban street. In the hedge is a newspaper with a headline reading 'Emails, Twitters etc causing demise of Postal Service - Daily mail services may be cut'. A woman can be seen through the window at her computer. A dog sits crossly beside the letter box and thinks 'Rats! What the heck fun can you get chasing an email supplier?!' Context - Up to 20 New Zealand Post shops and Kiwibank outlets are set to close, meaning dozens of staff are going to lose their jobs. NZ Post says it's losing $40 million on its 304 shops, which is a cost CEO Brian Roche says is unsustainable and continuing to rise. The main reason is the use of email and online social networking that mean fewer letters are being written. (TV3 15 April 201 Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
