That's not a problem created by QF, that's a problem created by Australia's system of Government. If you had one Government for the whole country like NZ and England and Eire do, it is unlikely you would have this problem. Besides, hasn't SYD been the dominant city right back to the beginning of white settlement?

Besides - define "fact"

But I'm following somebody else's off topic chase down the rabbit hole - I'm sorry
