Christine Holgate’s lawyer says the former Australia Post chief has “no option” but to consider legal action against the organisation, which has been accused of unlawfully standing Holgate down.
Last month Holgate offered to enter into mediation with Australia Post and its shareholder ministers, and set a deadline of 5pm on May 5.
In a statement on Monday, Holgate’s lawyer, Rebekah Giles, revealed the government and the AusPost board had advised that they would not be able to conduct the mediation by that deadline.
