Default How many .org.au do you have?

I own a very big (value) generic word for .org.au ... but I have the feeling I'm not legally allowed to own it.

How many .org.au do you have... and can anyone point me to the REAL rules of owning a .org.au ?
thanks

None.

.org.au's are for officially registered non profit organizations only, I believe.

None.. there was recently a crack down (last year) on this where registrars recieved a 'please explain' for all of their .org.au

Your registrar should not have let your register it...

It is not valuable I'm affraid, best to let it drop when its time for renewal, I had registered a few by accident in the early days of my domaining before I relised it was for organisations
I think one was byronbay.org.au from memory

I see you are from Merimbula, say hello to my mate at the local fish and chip shop, he purchased merimbula.com.au and net.au last year from me.

Something like $500 to get on his site ouch

I have a single .org.
Com.au's are scary enough to own let alone messing with the Aussie orgs.
