I just took the trouble to ring Daniel Jumeau who is one of the partners in 
uregister.com.au (.au domains § $125). He told me that the domains have been 
removed from the auction because they had found out that it was not possible to sell 
.au domains. Good to see that they are on top of things.

It seems they now intend to disinter their original plans which they formulated prior to 
the land rush to set up an "online shopping centre" which will offer among other things 
slimming products - hence cellulite.com.au.  

The association with banker.com.au is dinky. It appears that other part of the dynamic 
duo Michael Daher (ichael§uregister.com.au) doesn't suffer from keyboard dyslexia 
and didn't accidently type a "b" instead of a "w" when filling out the forms at Bottle. He 
is in fact, even as I write, hitting the books in preparation for his exams to become a 
finance broker. I would have thought that nothwithstanding all the fun and games  with 
finance brokers in WA in recent years the link with "banker" might have been a tad 
tenuous even for the lenient little bottlers. But then again to coin a cliche the West is 
another country and they do things differently there.

Sadly I was not able to get Daniel to elaborate on the connections with licence and 
society as his mobile seemed to have run out of power.
