QUOTE
On 1 October 2010 some of our required postage rates and service fees 
are changing.

On 1 October 2010 we are changing some of our prices. The increase is 
necessary because the amount of mail we deliver is falling while the 
number of homes, farms and businesses to which we deliver is growing. 
In addition, the GST rate is changing from 12.5% to 15%.
