$50 a year for taking over com.au registrations sounds rather cheap. Are
iiNet customers going to be subsidsing the 21 competent staff devoted
to supplying com.au registrations to the world? ($50 split by say 2000
for new domains nets you 3 cents a domain). 

Are you sure this the right empire building plan?

I'd also suggest that multiple Internet connections in multiple states
should be mandatory if you wish to pursue your plan.
