That's a matter of opinion.

I'd object to that name as being easily confused with .com.au

If there were proposals for other 2LDs I'd put "corp.au", "bus.au", "ltd.au",
"st.au" (for Sole Traders) and the like into the arena.

It seems to me that the biz.au proposal will bring some COM.petition into
the COM.mercial domain front.

> How about setting up as a second DNA for .com.au instead?

How about do that as well?

The benefit of another 2LD is that the policy can differ.
