Tonight we're focusing on the Post Office and mountains of parcels that have yet to be delivered. In 2015 after years of losses, inefficiencies, and scandals, a private equity investor, Mark Barnes, was appointed as CEO to save the Post Office. He closed more than 200 branches and promised efficiencies. But three years later the SA Post Office is struggling to deal with a backlog of millions.
