gareth41: Do I need to have an Australian company to register a .net.au domain or can I use my NZ company?

sbiddle:

Is your NZ business licenced to trade in Australia? There are a lot of criteria, but typically unless you're an Australian registered business you can't get a .dom.au or .net.au

Only in Australia. ?They do it better than everyone else, red tape that is. ?

Ever tried to send money to OZ by bank transfer to pay for something? It costs an exorbitant amount just for the bank at the other end to do the deal, plus you need all the details about the person you're sending it to, their bank account number (fair enough), their address, the banks physical address, their ABN No, it goes on and on, their eye colour, actually I joke about the eye colour but it's almost that bad.

We wanted a .com.au address but ended up parking that idea, at least for the time being.

I think i is good that they restrict them. I wish NZ's ones were too, because it would stop some of the dodgy business practices, where these overseas companies register a NZ address, just to make it appear they are a NZ based business.
