Personally, I'd approve a com.au of it based on the fact that it refers
to a service they provide... provided they had a valid ABN/ACN...

...but this highlights the silliness of some of the restrictions.  I think
any entity would be foolish to not at least try to get the .com.au
- even a non-profit organisation.  Of course, if the .com is available,
I'd strongly recommend you register that too.  Not just as a registrar,
but from a marketing perspective, you're foolish not to.

We've come a long way since de-regulation.... but still got some way
to go.

Cheers,
Kirk
