[edit] Movements for separate statehood

Hey all. I am fascinated but sadly uninformed about the momentum and popular support of the movements that lobby for changes in the political geography within Australia (devolution as distinct from the Republican movement or the Flag Debate). I'm chiefly referring to the statehood movements in the Northern Territory and in various parts of New South Wales and Western Australia. On one internet site, I have seen a map showing radically redrawn borders, supposedly based on Christaller's theory of functional regions and/or on regions of local identity, including ethnic identity. Are these debates politically prominent or more marginal? //Big Adamsky 16:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

As far as I am able to make out, they are more marginal, although they did get a little bit of attention in the mainstream in early 2005 [1]. See also Proposals for new Australian States. -- Adz 22:46, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
