.com.au == 'business in .au' (theoretically).

If you think that it's *ever* been other than 'who has the deepest
pockets' you're kidding yourself. Free advice is worth exactly what you
pay for it :) but my free advice to you is to learn to live with the
above, because that is the way business works.

There are flaws with the auction model in terms of perceived fairness; but
I am forced to concur with others on this list who have suggested that it
is the fairest solution which is technically possible and feasible.
