What do you mean a "fair go"? Opening up the .au space gives more names 
available...it doesn't mean that you can't have third level domains, just 
that there can be more of them (since there would be more second level 
domains). Locking it off and forcing people to have to pay $$$ to register 
a 3rd level domain is what is unfair.
