load "layers->political->Australia States and Territories"  and then look at 
border area. I looked at the border between Canberra and Queanbeyan and also 
Cameron Corner http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Corner.  The Google 
supplied borders matched the base layers but "layers->political->Australia 
States and Territories" matched neither. 
The end result is confusing if you are trying to work out visually which state 
a point close to the border is in. Important for understanding the operation of 
Sensitive data rules.

In addition the "layers->political->Australia States and Territories" shows a 
dog leg in the border near Cameron Corner that I have not been able to see on 
other maps.
Unfortunately the "View metadata for Australian States .." page 
http://spatial.ala.org.au/alaspatial/layers/22  has broken links.

The same issues apply to the LGA Boundaries layer as well

I have just tested "layers->Marine->boundaries->States including coastal 
waters" and the State boundaries it includes match very closely with the google 
boundaries and base layers.
This layer also has excellent metadata associated with it and appears 
authoritative.

It boils down to a need for a better States and Territories layer and fixing 
the broken links in the layer table. Meanwhile, the states/territories with 
coastal waters will need to suffice.

There is a 2011 states/territories shapefile at 
http://abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@.nsf/DetailsPage/1270.0.55.001July%202011?OpenDoc
ument. Metadata? Who knows.

Should this be done by Chris as he is set to update the LGA boundaries?  Issue

Yes. Over to Chris to lead. Added the updated states/territories to the 
ListOfOutstandingLayersToBeIngested spreadsheet on Google Docs.

Changing title to reflect that this layer needs to be loaded.

This is a basic layer used in many applications and there appears to be an 
offset of up to 1km on the ACT boundary so it would be a good idea to update 
this layer asap. Agree with Doug that the layer "States and territories 
including coastal waters" is far more accurate

Metadata found (ABS) and updated in layers table. Note: This layer will 
deprecate the current state and territory boundaries layer cl22 (aus1).
