Okay...Unless there's a complaint from anyone, we go with:
lugnet.org.au.legoz
Rule number 1) sale/auction postings for sales/auctions held in Aus are
allowed
Rule number 2) Sale/auction postings for sales/auctions only open to Aus/NZ
area allowed
Rule number 3) "I don't bring people back.." <sorry, too many times watching
the Disney version of Aladdin :) "
Rule number 3) Only posting of information relevent to Australians.
Rule number 4) For someone to be barred from posting to this group, 3 people
have to request it, along with an explanation of the reason(?)

Anyone think of anything else or want to modify the above ideas?
