AUDA's .AU proposal is a cash grab!
I believe this government intervention will mainly focus on AUDA's direct registration .AU proposal which is very unpopular and would amount to a double tax on Australian business. It is a cash grab and the organisations policies seem to centre around mirroring the existing namespace in the new extension.
AUDA would make tens of millions if this went ahead at the expenses of businesses and they seem to have dug in their heels despite the public backlash against it.
