You too can get off the proverbial soap box and stop associating Discount
Domain Name Services with any wrongdoing.

1) Is RegistryWeb (aka Specialist Web Corporation Pty Ltd.of Shellharbour,
NSW) a
reseller for DDNS or anyone else? They have an INWW logo on their site
(http://www.registryweb.com/_images/inww.gif)

2) Would anyone care to speculate (courageously) as to why RegistryWeb
should
offer.au domains to prospective registrants with "no local business" at a
premium
over that charged to prospective registrants "with local business"
(http://www.registryweb.com/domains/pricing.shtml)?
