There has been some discussion lately on lugnet.loc.au about the need for an
Australian-only sales/auction/etc newsgroup for the following reasons:

* to provide a forum for Australians to buy/sell/auction/trade with other
Australians, avoiding the hassles of foreign exchange, overseas postage etc

* to stop any such postings getting lost in the vast volume of messages sent
to lugnet.market.*

A number of people have complained that the current lugnet.market.* are a
waste of time for most Australians as many posters are not willing to
buy/sell internationally and don't make this explicit.

What do we have to do to get such a newsgroup established?
