Well the US model here this that these types of domains be used (by their
post office) for the equivalent of snail-mail addresses for individuals.
This crosses over the function of id.au to some extent, except that it has
a strong geographical component.  I'm not sure how much this has been
developed though.

On the <state>.com.au suggestion, this sounds good so long as the policy
restricts organisations to one of <company>.com.au or <company>.<state>.com.au,
otherwise you'll get the usual 'grab all' approach (this certainly happens at
the international level).
