Annastacia Palaszczuk, the former premier of Queensland, has been appointed to the Australia Post Board as a non-executive director. This news comes after the departure of Tony Nutt, who had served two terms in the same role. Palaszczuk, who retired from politics in December of last year, is set to bring her wealth of experience to the board.
Having held the position of Queensland premier from 2015 until her retirement, Palaszczuk is no stranger to leadership and service delivery. In fact, Communications Minister Michelle Rowland believes that her experience will be invaluable in ensuring Australia Post's modernization and sustainability. Rowland expressed her confidence in Palaszczuk's appointment, stating that she will bring a diverse and strong voice to the board.
Palaszczuk holds the distinction of being the state's 39th premier and its second longest-serving, just behind Peter Beattie who held the position for nine years. She gained the title of "accidental premier" when she shocked the political world by defeating Liberal National Party leader Campbell Newman in 2015. Throughout her tenure, she successfully led the state through 63 natural disasters, proving her ability to handle tough situations.
Aside from her impressive track record, Palaszczuk also navigated Queensland through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and secured the 2032 Olympics for Brisbane. These accomplishments demonstrate her dedication to serving and bringing positive change to her community.
In light of her appointment, Palaszczuk has expressed her enthusiasm for joining the Australia Post Board and her commitment to its modernization journey. It is clear that her experience, leadership, and determination will contribute greatly to the board's efforts in delivering for Australian communities.
