Send a registered, written letter. There are legal requirements for written letters that mean MPs have to respond to them. I'm told that you should also ask a couple of disparate questions in the letter, as this means they can't simply respond with a form letter.

Hrm. Perhaps things have changed? I was told a while back by someone closer to Canberra than me that there were legal requirements for responding to letters; email was a boon, because it wasn't subject to those requirements. My apologies if I've misled.
