Australian Government Domain Ownership Fail

Posted on January 16, 2013 by Lee J

Well its come to my attention that the AU government has failed to secure domain names before it releases a program once again. Today they announced the bCyberwise program and after a few quick checks it came to my attention they had not yet secured the .com or .com.au domain names. To make things a bit further complex i have now purchased the bcyberwise.com domain name with a nice donation from a concerned source and it will redirect here. (once dns sets) Its not the first time this has happened with some one snapping up one of the RTA number plate program names. If the AU government wants this domain they can buy it from me for what i paid :), just trying to prove a point to them they should secure domains before releasing programs to help with marketing in a modern day. Specially one that’s designed to target online issues.
