Australia Post has announced that counter services at Glebe Post Office will cease on 4th February. The Glebe Society is fighting hard against this, along with our Federal, State and local politicians.
Please help by signing the online petition run by Verity Firth, our State MP, or sign the petition that is usually held by one of the volunteers at the front of Glebe Post Office.

It is unproductive to have to negotiate a shopping mall to pay a bill or post a parcel. Sorry I missed the rally.

I am advised by Balmain MP and local State member Verity Firth that she and our Federal local member Tanya Plibersek will be speaking at a rally in front of Glebe Post Office (cnr Glebe Point Road and St Johns Road at 10.00am this coming Thursday. I understand that City of Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore will also be present. So will my wife and I.
