Made by The Australian National Film Board 1949. In the mid 20th century, the nightly seven o'clock radio news broadcast wasn't possible without the behind-the-scenes work of the Postmaster General's Department. This short film shows some of the communication and postal activities undertaken by the department in the late 1940s. Sponsored by the PMG, it also served as a recruitment film for school leavers.

The ABC radio broadcaster here was the first host of TV's 4 Corners in the early 1960's I seem to recall. Love the beautifully spoken Australian voice too. "A job for life" - those were the good old days 3 years before I was born in 1952.

Unlike the broadcasters of today who get axed at the drop of a hat.

technicians today do a 2 week course in private collage and go out in the field clueless.

yes and they all were newsreaders that were employed with a trained voice and more of a British speaking style than an Australian accent

the PMG was run on identical lines ( pun intended) as the English GPO with staff known as Officers similar to the military.

The Australian PMG was only roughly similar to the British GPO. Particularly post Word War 2 the Australian PMG was run in a much more professional manner with better technical planning and execution, which led to a much more up to date network, albeit quite out of date compared to North America. The job structure was considerably different, with a clear distinction between technicians (chaps who use tools and fix what needs fixing) and engineers (who use pens and plan what comes next) - much to the distress of chaps emigrating from England, who could not slot into the same job in Australia. In no way was the job structure or titles similar to the military - your claim is ridiculous.
