Well the best way for you to establish this is to ask a lawyer.

Well you can ensure that they are informed by informing them yourself
if you feel that this is appropriate.

This is not a glib response. If you feel that you have an legitimate complaint
as a consumer of course you should approach the relevant public agency to discuss
your problem - .com.au domain names are nothing special in this regard.
