I disagree totally. While ausregistry are following
the auda rules I can see no reason they cannot put in
place greater protection of the whois database as many
global registrars have done so. Even though I am a
crap programmer I can think of several ways this is
possible with probably only a days work to implement.
With the millions they make you would wonder why they
don't take a proactive view to the spam issue and
email harvesting.

It doesn't take a genius to harvest emails from the
ausregistry whois database. On my basic setup I
reackon over 1000 per hour even with their
restrictions in place. These spammers obviously have
more resources.
