Liberal leader Jess Wilson has paid tribute to Mul and Veena, the beloved faces of the Cotham Post Office, as they retire after more than four decades of service.

In a heartfelt social media post, Ms Wilson wrote: “After 42 years serving our community, today is Mul and Veena’s final day at the Cotham Post Office.”

“For more than four decades they have been the friendly faces behind the counter, greeting every parcel and every customer with a smile.”

She added that while the post office will continue under new ownership, Mul and Veena “will be deeply missed” and thanked them for their dedication, saying,

“Our community is better because of you.”

Long-time locals have praised the couple for their warmth and commitment, with many describing them as fixtures of the neighbourhood whose service went far beyond the usual postal duties.
