Why would you want to pollute the 2LD with, quite arguably, entries that exist in the 3LD? What if, later on, one wishes to add a new 3LD (say a replacement for id.au, or a geographical-based index for towns/cities) but one can't because (and I _guarantee_ it'd happen if it weren't restricted by a rule) all of these possible 2LDs have been snapped up? Why not just create a (shock!) .biz.au or whatnot which does exactly what you describe? What makes companies more important from a DNS perspective? What is this "other" that you're referring to? The stuff that you don't care about? Why do people keep wishing to reduce Australia's DNS space to one rivalling the NSI legacy? *shakes head*.
