The Federal Government has announced the appointment of two new directors to the board of Australia Post. Susan Bitter and Talal Yassine have both been appointed for three years.

 

"I congratulate Ms Bitter and Mr Yassine on their appointments. They both bring a wealth of experience, knowledge and skills to the board that will ensure the continued high-quality operation of one of Australia's most important and valued corporations," Federal Minister for Broadband, Communications and Telecommunications Senator Stephen Conroy said.

 

Ms Bitter is currently the Chief Operating Officer of Corrs Chambers Westgarth, a Director of the Medical Indemnity Protection Society Limited and of the Industry Superannuation Property Trust, where she is Chair of the Audit Compliance Committee.
