Thanks Michael, After submitting the document, I was contacted by DCITA as described on this list. I modified a number of paragraphs to satisfy their lawyers. To be fair - the more I wrote the submission, the more heated I became, so it's probably fair to say the original draft contained some 'borderline' defamatory content. I was assured by DCITA their intent was to avoid litigation rather than to censor comment or content, which is fair enough.
There is clearly a spectum of opinion on auDA. NetRegistry's thoughts are in the public domain. My hope is that Government is true to its word and works to reduce red tape and bureaucratic bloat in the interests of consumers and small business efficiency.
