A spokesman for Australia Post confirmed its Tennant Creek post office manager had been suspended pending a police investigation, but assured local residents there would be no impact to services at the post office.

“Australia Post’s licensed post offices are an important part of our network and there are clear obligations, guidelines and policies that Licensees agree to when they join our network,” he said.
