the absence of any contract to the contrary, (and there wasn't one) there's
no reason why you shouldn't make your submission public, or pass it around
or put it on a web site or whatever. I wonder if the ABC will put up a
website like the ABA did, with the submissions on it? (I sent mine off
yesterday, too).

The ABC is not conducting the Review.  

Bob Mansfield is and is being serviced by a secretariat from the Department 
of Communications and the Arts.    The ABA conducted the investigation into
Regulation of on-line services and hence published submissions.

It would be up to the Secretariat and the Department to publish submissions, 
in line with the role they have played in publishing the Terms of Reference
etc on their site.

I wonder how many submissions were placed by email?
