An article has been posted in computerworld.com.au yesterday, with quite a colourful headline:
"Miranda Kerr cybersquatter charged by auDA"
The domain is in the name of Pacific Octane.
The headline itself is incendiary, and makes it appear as if James Wester has been arrested or charged on summons or something!
Thankfully that is one power that auDA do not have!

I don't know the facts behind this, but I'm sure they will come out in time. There may be things we don't know. James has indicated
he intends taking legal action - against who and on what basis I'm not sure of at this stage.
However, I will make this general observation - auDA do have clearly defined policies for the .au space. We may not like or agree with
some of them, but until they are changed, they are the rules, and if you don't abide by them, then you are potentially asking for trouble.
