The GADM data was originally used to populate the gazetteer with polygons 
representing administrative boundaries such as suburbs. If this was an update 
to the country INTERNAL administrative boundaries, it is superseded by the SLA, 
LGA layers. 

The only drawback that I can see is if someone wanted to define an area by a 
State/Territory of a non-Australian country. Possible I suppose.
