Our Story: Hyperlocal News with a Heart
The Post was born during the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting a newsmagazine from scratch was incredibly hard, but it was driven by a singular vision: to create a sense of belonging and support for our local community. What began as a solo mission has grown into a vibrant tribe of contributors, local business owners, and readers who believe that community connection makes a real difference.

Our Commitment to Anti-Slavery
As a small, local business, King Publications Pty Limited is committed to a simple and ethical principle: we do not tolerate modern slavery in any form. This commitment extends to all parts of our business, including our own operations and our relationships with suppliers, contractors, and service providers. We believe that everyone deserves to work in freedom and with dignity, and we are dedicated to ensuring that our business is never connected to modern slavery.
To make this commitment a reality, we will:
Act with Integrity: We will conduct our business with the highest ethical standards, ensuring we do all we can to prevent modern slavery.
Partner with Ethical Companies: We expect all of our suppliers and partners to share our commitment. When we work with other businesses, we will make sure they are also dedicated to lawful and ethical practices.
Prohibit Exploitation: Our contracts and agreements will explicitly prohibit the use of forced labor, human trafficking, or any other form of modern slavery.
What is Modern Slavery?
Modern slavery is a serious crime that involves exploiting people for profit. It can take many forms, including forced labor, human trafficking, and servitude. It’s important to remember that modern slavery is defined by the use of coercion, threats, or deception to force people into work they cannot leave. It can also include the “worst forms of child labor,” which are severe and dangerous types of exploitation, not all work done by children.
Our business is small, but our responsibility is large. We believe that by acting ethically and with integrity, we can contribute to a world free from modern slavery.
Definitions
The Modern Slavery Act 2018 (Cth) ‘Act’ defines modern slavery as including eight types of serious exploitation:
- trafficking in persons,
- slavery,
- servitude,
- forced labour,
- forced marriage,
- debt bondage,
- the worst forms of child labour, and
- deceptive recruiting for labour or services.
The worst forms of child labour means extreme forms of child labour that involve the serious exploitation of children, including through enslavement or exposure to dangerous work. The worst forms of child labour does
not mean all child work.
Under Australian law, modern slavery is defined in the Act. In the event of any inconsistency, the definitions in the Act take precedence over this policy.
