It would be a brave person that purchased some of these domains:

> AustraliaPost.com
> AustraliaPost.net
Name established by an Act of Parliament

> ONaustralia.net
Trademark

> Qantas.org
Name established by an Act of Parliament

> Sydney2000OlympicGames.com
> Sydney2000OlympicGames.net
Use of the word "Olympic" in reference to the Olympic Games is
estabished by two Acts of Parliament (one especially for the
2000 games).  Attempting to sell this name, as is done here,
is a breach of the licensing conditions outlined in the Act.

There are two major products that came out of Berkeley:
LSD and UNIX.  This is no coincidence.
