With regard to postcodes. The proprietary nature and no formal

This is the weird thing about postcodes in Australia.
On one hand they are designed to be used on mail, so that it can be
delivered efficiently. We're expected to know what the postcode of the
address we're mailing is and to add it.
On the other hand postcode boundaries are proprietary and you are
expected to pay for them:

So how does that work? How am I supposed to know what to put on the
letter? Better still, what is the market for paying for a postcode
boundary dataset? Given that it is secret then your customers are not
going to be using the same thing as you.
