Government is heavy user of openaustralia.org email alerts

A recent remark about government users of our website, and our recent exchanges with the DPS made me wonder, just how many people@gov.au are signed up for our email alerts as part of their daily routine? I asked Matthew to take a look at the stats, so he did, and this is the result.
So about a quarter of people on email alerts, that’s hundreds of people, work for government and that’s just the ones using their work email address. No wonder www.aph.gov.au is asking “what other websites are good examples” in its own user survey? Maybe its time for someone in government to talk to us directly?
