[AusNOG] Victorian Police - internal assistance??

[Matt Perkins]

I seem to remember it was from a teleco  type division as well.  I think 
it was just a mistake when they did the whois and just could not 
understand that the info they had was not correct.

I must have been wrong I did have that IP I just could not find it sort 
of thing.   (I wish I had that much address space)

Matt.
