Craig,
Using the .au database to produce his misleading propaganda must fall within
auda's responsibility.

Hello Jason

I seem to be writing to you a lot today!!  :-)

Mr Rafferty is not an auDA Accredited Registrar, nor to my knowledge, a
reseller that has been 'notified' to auDA by a registrar (as registrars are
required to do under the Registrar Agreement).

For this reason, Mr Rafferty does not fall within auDA's direct or
contractual sphere of control.  auDA's remedy lies in taking actions under
the Trade Practices Act in the Federal Court, which it has done previously
in relation to a specific mailout.

How many times does an organisation have to breach the auDA policy before
their registrar / resellar status is revoked?
looks like Mr Rafferty does not have a great deal of regard for the auDA
policys and like some other organisations is persuing an agenda to reap as
much money as they can while the regulations can be circumvented.
