An observation. Despite any apparent "not the proper thing for a director to
do" connotations, it's nevertheless better that such names have been
hijacked by friend rather than foe.

Aside from the high fee what is so terrible about the page?  It is only
doing hostnames on a gTLD.  Nothing wrong with that.  I do it myself and
give them away for free.  Over 230,000 of them under various gTLD's.

As for the domain name aunic.com.au, I assume such names were registered
under older requirements and before AuDA was formed.  I'll do a look up
if I get the chance and confirm/deny this.

To me, as domain names are only leased on a yearly basis, it would be
easy enough for AuDA to reclaim such names if they consider it
appropriate for name space management and consumer protection.
Grandfathering can only be carried so far.  As they haven't I assume
they don't consider it an issue.  Perhaps the presentation of good
strong reasons why it should be an issue is in order.
