They do have an API that devs can use, or so I read. The Accuweather app is horrible compared to meecast. Nightmarish.
Accuweather app seemed to work fine for me, just that I can't do fancy things like changing the icons and putting its info on LPMS

Any chance of having accuweather yet? For people in New Zealand it provides far better coverage than what is currently available.

It is a government department (& a Qld one at that) so there may be some resistance, but I'll see what they say.
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.
If this is no longer an issue please let me know...

This is the (predictable) response I have received:
Where to from here?
This is the (predictable) response I have received:
it is up to the company supplying the app to select the source
and format of their data which that are using and providing. You
should try to contact the app owner and pass on your concerns to
them. Unfortunately, you have not given us any details of the app
or the type of data that you are trying to view, or the method that
you are using to view the app, so we can't comment on any specifics
in relation to your message.
Regards,

Maybe also asking BOM as to why specifically they use a different data source for only one state?
Some ideas....
p.s. You might also ask as to why wind observations are not currently provided for Melbourne.
