Lawyers specialize in cryptocurrency laws

I need some help.

Coinjar verified my account and I have had a few minor problems with the that I complained about. 

Recently I have sent them over 16btc to manage with my verified account. 
I tried to withdraw some and also send some more to my account.

They have now frozen my account and have told me they will not provide us with telephone communication and only send emails to me.
They are saying my money will stay frozen until I tell them all the details involved in every single transaction I have sent them in the last month.
They also say that I have to explain what I will do with my bitcoin if they do take hold off my account.

I understand the support staff work out of Melbourne Australia and I am a British citizen with Australian residence and an Australian registered company. 

Do they have any grounds here to do this and isn't what they are doing going against everything bitcoin stands for.

I am prepared to pay for legal services and fight this tooth and nail,  no matter the expenses.  I believe this is going to test this currency and am looking for legal advice before I contact my friends who are journalists in respectable technology columns of national newspapers. 

In the meantime I am losing as bitcoin devalues and these people will not release my funds.

Coinjar has also explained hostility and are using slang terms in their responses to me as though I am kit a customer of value to them.
It is easy to say I want my money back but I also want to see this in court as it does not seem they should be able to do this with no Regards to me losing a fortune while it devalues. 
I think this is terrible for bitcoin and will be seeking exposure in the media to have them make it widely known that yiu have to prove every transaction ever made with this company or they will not allow you to touch your funds.

Could someone please advise if this is legal because it is not what is advertised with bitcoin for the general public.  They have done this because I asked a customer to deposit money into my bitcoin wallet by using a biller code seeing they did not have bitcoin themselves. 

Apparently this is illegal but they don't tell you this when they give you the billercode to use. 

Thats a shame.  I've had nothing but good experiences with them.

Same with me until this. 

I asked them how long can they legally hold my money and when that time expires,  what is the process that happens with my funds.

Their reply was "we will hold your money as long we want".

I asked for a phone number to contact them and the address of their registered office and their response was"  we are only going to communicate with you through the writing of emails and if yiu refuse to reply to these emails then we will cease communication and hold your money indefinitely ".

They have asked me to explain all transaction to my account and from my account and demanded that I tell them what I wish to do with my bitcoin if they release my funds.

This is disgusting treatment and they won't even let me communicate with their security team,  they keep writing to me saying our security team wants to know this and wants to know that etc etc.

They have vilified me.  I have been a verified member for a year and now I start making some bitcoin they have locked everything up,  removed my verification and are talking to me like they are my dictator. 

My opinion of them is that they are as bad as PayPal and that I will never again touch bitcoin.
I am looking for legal assistance and I am prepared to spend whatever it takes to have the questions that their writings have left me with,  answered in a court of law.
I can not sit by and allow them to treat a customer with absolutely no respect.
I will gladly forward all communication to date to anyone who Regards themselves as a professional with bitcoin law or a barrister who is familiar with this law that would be willing to discuss legal proceedings. I have nothing to hide at all.
