Downplaying the importance of Canberra

The fact that the line moved to include Canberra in the 1980s is a source of bitterness for many and it keeps getting removed from the lead despite its importance as the national capital. The ACT and NT may be classed as territories but that doesn't mean that they aren't within the scope of this article. @HappyWaldo please ackowledge this!

Not why I reverted. I did so because your version of the lead showed a serious disregard for WP:SUMMARY and read terribly. - HappyWaldo (talk) 00:39, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A suggestion

Someone better than me at making such maps, please change Perth to a hollow dot. Perth does not currently have an NRL team, but they did have a team (the Reds) in the old ARL. I don't know why Perth is solid but Adelaide is appropriately hollow, given the Rams were significantly less well known and popular than the Reds were. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DracoFire3001 (talk • contribs) 04:17, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
