Hmm, I just found another domain which shows Aussie HQ as the owner.

It appears that as well as now owning the domain

TREECUSTODIANS.COM

( without the former Registrant's permission )

whose website

http://www.treecustodians.com

is about a beautiful ancient tree in South Africa, that Aussie HQ,
an AU Registrar, is also the proud owner of the domain

NIGHTGEN.COM

whose website

http://nightgen.com

appears to belong to a Heavy Metal music band.

I also note that in the last 24 hours that the details on the domain

TREECUSTODIANS.COM

have been updated to show a new street address and a new

contact email address voidet§nightgen.com

which appears to belong to that Heavy Metal domain
owned by Aussie HQ

I am wondering why an AU Registrar who 24 hours ago had the contact email

provisioning§hostingshop.com.au

on the domain TREECUSTODIANS.COM would now be using the email address
of a domain such as NIGHTGEN.COM as their contact email address.

Regarding TotalNIC, the ACCC at the time, despite receiving numerous
complaints about TotalNIC, including mine, was completely useless
in fulfilling their assigned role of protecting consumers.

I really applaud AUDA for their oustanding effort and actual result at the time
to protect consumers from the conduct of TotalNIC.
