auDA Takedown
On Fri 18-12-2009 auDA issued a notice giving us 3 hours to provide evidence
of our eligibility to hold stephenconroy.com.au and related domain names. We
asked for reasonable time to prepare and make representations on our
eligibility but auDA refused to grant this, insisting we reply within the 3
hour window.

After several attempts at convincing them to give us reasonable time to
reply we made a last-ditch attempt at 16:10AEDT stating that we provide a
consultancy product with 'Stephen Conroy' in it's name. We hoped that this
would at least enable us to stay up over the weekend, but they didn't want
to know. We believe that auDA had decided to pull our registration
regardless of what we did.

After we were ultimately unable to obtain appropriate advice and
representation in the manifestly inadequate time they pulled the domain,
sending the site off-line. We've temporarily moved to stephen-conroy.com
while we assess and respond to auDA's actions. Please update your bookmarks.

During the course of the weekend we have obtained advice from several
sources and had discussions with the extremely helpful guys at EFA, who have
agreed to provide their support. They also confirmed having received
numerous other complaints from members of the public regarding auDA's
actions.

We've received widespread support and messages of condemnation aimed at auDA
for their actions, which seem to have been rightly interpreted as a
manifestly political move.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their support and
state that we WILL BE fighting what we consider to be a heavy-handed attempt
to silence us. If you think this is as ridiculous as we do feel free to
contact auDA directly and register your disapproval:

Update 20-12-2009: It seems that auDA's actions have drawn almost universal
condemnation over the weekend. See what people are saying on Twitter HERE

A fair question, when your name is I_C_Jew_people(a)PariahIsrael.con
and nothing remotely like 'Stephen Conroy'

I'm NOT claiming to be the real or the fake 'Stephen Conroy'!

Agreed; those who registered the domain name are not claiming it either,
but they're hoping that ill-informed people will mistakenly assume
an association.

Why is it not sufficient to get across the political message
with a domain name such as against-australian-filtering.com
or similar? Why is the misrepresentation so important?

Ah, well then please accept my apology. You are manifestly a deep thinker
who has it all worked out, even to the point of changing the rules of the
language to make it better suit your ideology. I am a sleep.
