Fine but prima facie the domain name cannot be registered. and "bt" au domain is 
prohibited. So what is the point of the auDRP complaint? Can't auDA just cancel the 
domain if it is them that's complaining. If it is some corporation or individual wouldn't 
the complaint be a waste of time - seeing as how it's an illegal name.

How is that the registration got through the alleged checks in the first place?
