Based on the company name, the products they sell or any other associated companies I could find through ASIC, I can't see for the life of me how the current owner can possibly be eligible.
Maybe the the auDA employee that responded should read their own website where it outlines the conditions of elegibility for .com.au domains:
auDA > auDA Published Policies > Domain Name Eligibility and Allocation Policy Rules for the Open 2LDs (2008-05)
In particular:
SCHEDULE C
ELIGIBILITY AND ALLOCATION RULES FOR COM.AU
The com.au 2LD is for commercial purposes.
The following rules are to be read in conjunction with the Eligibility and Allocation Rules for All Open 2LDs, contained in Schedule A of this document.
1. To be eligible for a domain name in the com.au 2LD, registrants must be:
a) an Australian registered company; or
b) trading under a registered business name in any Australian State or Territory; or
c) an Australian partnership or sole trader; or
d) a foreign company licensed to trade in Australia; or
e) an owner of an Australian Registered Trade Mark; or
f) an applicant for an Australian Registered Trade Mark; or
g) an association incorporated in any Australian State or Territory; or
h) an Australian commercial statutory body.
2. Domain names in the com.au 2LD must be:
a) an exact match, abbreviation or acronym of the registrant’s name or trademark; or
b) otherwise closely and substantially connected to the registrant.
( I can't see any update on their site of this poilcy - so I assume it is still current.)
Good luck, sounds like you need to find a bureaucrodozer!
If at first you dont succeed.........
