It is a government department (& a Qld one at that ) so there may be some resistance, but I'll see what they say.
@Vlad

I finally contacted them about this, here is my email, sorry for taking so long!

Subject: Why is Qld's data format different to all other states/territories?

There's a weather app that uses bom.gov.au as a source, it has few problems with all states/territories, except Qld.
The reason for the problem seems to be that Qld's data is available here in HTML format, not XML like the other states:
ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/
Can this please be made consistent between all states and territories?

Thank-you.
I will follow-up with a phone call early next week if I get no response via email.
If this is no longer an issue please let me know...
