As does www.commonwealth.gov.au

As an aside, the HealthInsite team (www.healthinsite.gov.au) has reported that typically 1.4% of their traffic gets to HealthInsite from one of their other registered domain names:

 ...com.au
 ...org
 ...com
 ...org.au

as well as:
healthsight.com.au
...org.au

It shows the benefit of registering "amost correct" domains.
