FORMER Liberal National Party president Bruce McIver has walked into a new job as a board director at Australia Post. 
Mr McIver will be paid $91,290 from   January 1 for the three-year part-time role. He was appointed to the role on   December 10 less than three months after he stood down from the most senior position in the LNP.
Mr McIver served as LNP president for seven years and was one of the architects of the merger between the conservative parties in Queensland.
Communications Minister Mitch Fifield yesterday announced the appointment, which fills a vacancy on the Australia Post board.
Senator Fifield said Mr McIver (pictured) was chosen because of his background in transport and logistics. "Mr McIver brings strong business experience to the Australia Post board during a period of significant change," Senator Fifield said. "His expertise in transport and logistics in Australia and across the Asia Pacific region is an area of critical importance to Australia Post."Mr McIver has held executive positions at the Australian Trucking Association and Clive Palmer's Asia Pacific Shipping Enterprises.
