<br>Quite interesting that it claims email is insecure then:<br>a) hosts a webform without using SSL, ensuring that is not encrypted either, and susceptible to a MITM attack;<br>b) suggests postal mail to the address provided in the clear over the web is somehow more secure, although also susceptible to a MITM attack.<br>
<br>Seems to be a load of rubbish. If they were genuinely concerned about security, the webform would utilise SSL, and the page detailing the "secure" postal address should also be served over SSL to ensure the web server's identity.<br>

</div>Maybe not. But at least he is offering an explanation as to why he doesn't<br>
want you to email him, AND a webform that you can use instead:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.pm.gov.au/contact/index.cfm" target="_blank">http://www.pm.gov.au/contact/index.cfm</a><br>
<br>
He's also on Twitter (KevinRuddPM from memory) and does reply to any concerns<br>
that you might have (if they have some degree of legitimacy).<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
