    What outcome do you want from this? If it’s just to get them to stop, how about  a letter saying something like this:

    I note that you have once again ignored my requests for privacy in my dealings with the Owners Corporation.

    While I accept that owners are entitled to know who has been in correspondence with the committee, they can find this information out from the strata manager on request, and there is nothing in the Strata Management Act of 2015 that compels you to reveal private information on every occasion that you receive or send a letter.

    In short, I believe this practice of “naming and shaming” could be interpreted as a form of bullying which I believe undercuts the committee members’ “qualified privilege” that protects them against legal action for defamation.

    With that in mind, I ask you one last time to cease and desist from broadcasting my name and address to all owners. Any repetition and I will be forced to seek legal advice.

    Now, this is just as likely to inflame matters as it is to resolve them, and you know the people you are dealing with better than we do.  So perhaps you should contact the Redfern Legal Centre or the Tenants Union before you do anything else (including sending the above letter)
