In 1987 the century-old New Zealand Post Office was split into three new state-owned enterprises – New Zealand Post, Postbank (which took over the Post Office Savings Bank) and Telecom (which took over telephone and telegraph services). This cover from Katipo, the journal of the Post Office Union, shows that the union continued to represent the staff of all three businesses. Postbank was sold to the ANZ bank in 1989 and Telecom was sold to a consortium in 1990. New Zealand Post remained a state-owned enterprise in 2011.
