There is no .aus TLD. Report the details of the communication to the ACCC
who IMHO will be very interested.

Bwahahaha (oh, I like doing that occasionally). I'm not about to mention any
names, but if you speak to this person again, mention ".pokey" and tell us
all what reaction you received.

There are a handful of entities within Australia engaging in questionable
business practices with respect to domain names. If you receive a proposal
from an organisation and you're not sure of its reliability, post it here
or contact IIA and reputable organisations will either tell you it's legit
or tell you what's being misrepresented.
