[LINK] Re: Contacting politicians

[Jenny Millea]

 at the fed level

This site gives Fed Gov Ministers contacts
http://www.fed.gov.au/sitelists/minport.htm - this is the official fed.gov
site so _should_ be reliable...

the liberal party website has a list of the coalition members
http://www.liberal.org.au/parliament/member.htm and these often have
additional email addresses and contact details

you can email the pm from his website
http://www.pm.gov.au/your_feedback/feedback.htm
i know this address works ...
