On behalf of the Government ? No, they are not a Government agency and don't act on behalf of the Government. Unless I am mistaken auDA made the decision about selling/auctioning domains.

These "licences/assets" assist business organisations in promoting and providing productivity for same. My Simple question to AuDa is on what premise do they restrict the free commercial trading of that licence/asset. Can Auda provide a valid reason under law as to why they have restrictive mandates in relation to the .au domain space.
