Whois privacy for Australian domain names

[DomainNames]

Just as you can with your .com name New Zealand is looking to allow registrants to have whois privacy for their registrations. Australia should allow the same and this should be raised now for potential policy change in Australia asap.

I support this because I am sick of getting way too much foreign web dev spam on an hourly basis

A great deal of the spam Australian .com.au and .net.au registrants receive now is due to spammers getting the details from the whois search.

Whois Privacy is available FREE and can be used in nearly every other country extension and has been for many years.

It is really time for auDA, auDA board + policy makers to update the policy with this change ASAP.

Absolutely agree.
