Woolworths executive Paul Graham has been appointed as Australia Post’s Chief Executive Officer this morning, replacing outgoing CEO Christina Holgate.

Ms Holgate left Australia Post in November 2020 after it was revealed four Australia Post employees received Cartier watches as a reward for working to secure a lucrative deal with three major banks.

Ms Holgate has recently told a Senate inquiry she was unlawfully stood down from the position before being abandoned to a “media firestorm”.
