There is another question. Is it good for the Australian Internet? I.e.
users.  

Demand does not always equate to benefits to the end user. 

I agree the debate needs to be had, the starting point is to identify why
the demand exists, backed by solid information.

rubish. policy as we have been told is indiferent to registrars losses or

the only question to ask: is there a demand or not?
