Dear Department of Parliamentary Services,

I am writing to you to request information pertaining to the Information Technology infrastructure at Parliament House.

Namely, I am after records detailing the IPv4 (and if relevant, IPv6) addresses used to access the public internet from within parliament house.

To clarify, these are the public facing addresses of the APH private network. I am only requesting addresses that are used to access the general public internet.

In addition, if it is such that a particular IP address serves a particular part of APH, say just the senate or house of representatives, it would be desired that this information is released as well.

Such information should be found in department generated network documentation, or at the very least in configuration files of your router and firewall equipment.

Please do not hesitate to reply if you require clarification to fulfil this request.

I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,

Andy Thompson
