So we have 6 states and 2 territories - contrary to popular belief, the island is HUGE! For example, I’m 2hrs north of Sydney, but for me to drive to Perth - DR territory, is 42hrs driving time. We have our federal government that runs the country, but then each state + Northern Territory, have their own government and own rules which means they can shut their borders at any time. The second territory actually sits in NSW and it’s the capital of the country - ACT, it also has its own capital and rules.
I didn’t realize how bloody confusing that is! I mean that as in, it’s confusing when you have to explain it, surely we could simplify this lol.
