Proposals for new Australian states
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Proposals_for_new_Australian_states an entity of type: Thing
There have been numerous proposals for the creation or incorporation of new states of Australia, since the late 19th century. These proposals have involved: giving existing territories the official status of states; negotiating the inclusion of other independent countries (or one of their overseas territories), and; forming new states from parts of existing states. However, no new states have been added since the federation of six former British self-governing colonies in 1901, as states of the new Commonwealth of Australia.

However, no new states have been added since the federation of six former British self-governing colonies in 1901, as states of the new Commonwealth of Australia. Unofficial proposals have involved current territories, especially the Northern Territory (NT) and, to a lesser extent, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Other, long-standing proposals have included negotiating the addition of: New Zealand (as either one or two states), Papua New Guinea, Fiji or East Timor. More recently, there have been proposals for an Aboriginal state, possibly modelled on the Inuit territory of Nunavut in Canada.
