Now this story is exactly why auDA is a powerless, toothless tiger.  If it 
had ANY authority whatsoever, it could take action without concern for 
legal ramifications.  However as auDA is a private company, it can't afford 
to take on long running legal battles in the courts.

Maybe auDA needs to request that the Administrative Tribunals be granted 
leave to hear auDA matters so auDA can handle the matters through an 
established Government administration system?

At the same time, seeking leave for people with complaints against auDA to 
use the Tribunal as well.

Then everything will be on a much fairer playing field.

I also find it amazing that auDA has to feed the ACCC to do a job of 
self-regulation.  That just isn't right.  auDA is either a self-regulator, 
or it's nothing but a corporation in the civil market place.
