] CLARIFICATION OF DOMAIN NAME LICENCE - PROHIBITION ON SALE OF DOMAIN
] NAME BY REGISTRANT
] http://www.auda.org.au/docs/auda-2002-24.txt

When you register (eg) a com.au domain name you get a non-transferrable
licence to use that domain name.  You do not get anything which looks
like ownership (or any other proprietary rights).

So a registrant trying to sell ownership of a com.au domain makes as 
much sense as trying to sell the Sydney Harbour Bridge, or the planet
Neptune.
