I'm in this boat too.

FYI:
[17:01:51] -RogerY- !Global Notice! We've had to add some temporary
-wide- bans to swiftly curb the attack on Austnet. Please apologize on
our behalf to clients you know that are affected. We anticipate we can
lift the bans within the next 30 minutes or so.

Which then became "in an hour"..

.. Which then became "in a couple of hours"..

See, unlike other networks, AustNet opers don't bother to spend time on
anything other than generating wallops messages.

This is probably related to the DALnet refugees who have arrived
recently at AustNet's shores, bringing with them all the wonders that
come hand in hand with DALnet..

Hey, at least they unbanned *!*@*net*au a while ago :)
