Quick check:

inet6num:       2406:C500::/32
netname:        TSAGOA
descr:          The System Administrators Guild of Australia
country:        AU

That is a single /32, out of the PA block of APNIC. Hence, unless you
convince every single ISP in the world to accept it, the only thing you
can announce is that /32, nothing else.

More specifics will properly be dropped.

Please don't spam the BGP tables with more specifics. If you need PI, go
get a distinct PI block for that site from your favourite LIR.

Greets,

Oh and yes, it will be a lot of fun when some large company is going to
split and then have to split up their IPv6 address space, somebody will
be renumbering a lot of hosts... ;)
