Well that's fair enough then. 

Now has anybody told you why the domains have at this point of time been whacked 
with 

"Status: SERVERDELETEPROHIBITED
Status: SERVERTRANSFERPROHIBITED
Status: SERVERUPDATEPROHIBITED"

There is a note at the bottom of the Ausregistry record relating to the name being 
reserved. 

If it is a reserved name how come it managed to get past the checks applied by the 
registry's multi-million dollar system and two registrars - at registration (and when it 
was reviewed by MIT's very expensive legal dept.)  and at the time of transfer? 

On the other hand a courageous person might suggest that some dissembler has got 
it in for you and is checking the credentials of each domain associated with you very 
carefully.

Personally I can't see why auDA would want to knock out domain names with a 
county code connotation - especially as at least one Austrain domain luminary and 
current auDA director thinks something.au.com is a real domain name.
