Lawyers for Australia Post boss Christine Holgate say she has not been officially informed of a four-week suspension over lavish corporate expenses, questioning the legal basis of a government-ordered investigation.

Fighting to keep her job after it was revealed she spent nearly $20,000 on Cartier watches for executives who secured a financial services deal with major banks, Ms Holgate was stood down and threatened with the sack by Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
