The policy was not developed by Melbourne IT - it was developed by Mr Robert
Elz.
Melbourne IT is legally bound to administer this policy under the terms of
its original agreement with Mr Elz.
Melbourne IT supported the removal of the restriction on generic domain
names.

That is not true, see section 5 of the terms and conditions of a ".com.au"
domain name licence (http://www.inww.com/policies/comaupolicy.php3).  There
is an established arbitration procedure for dealing with disputes.
Legal action is always a recourse.
