If you are receiving notice from your original reseller or Melb IT
directly
you would not have to provide the key as the domain name is already with
them.

MelbIT should be required to be provided with the registry key from the
registrant (I thought that issue had been delt with) the same as with
any
other  transfer. What gives them an exemption we are talking competition
here...
