The FOI address for the Treasurer listed here is no longer working: http://ministers.treasury.gov.au/Display...

I've emailed Treasury asking for the correct address and will resend this when they respond.

Cheers,

Still no response from Treasury.

I've followed up with an email and tweet.

Ugh, almost three weeks later and they finally reply with a link to a website that does not list an email address (http://ministers.treasury.gov.au/Display...).

I've reiterated my request for an updated email address. Third time lucky?

Sent request to Treasurer again, using a new contact address.
