[Imports] Australian administrative boundaries import

[Rafael Avila Coya]

Hi, Nelson:

The wiki says also that "Because boundaries can be rendered both from 
relations and individual ways, tagging the ways is, in the strictest 
sense optional.

My opinion is that, being this an import, it would be better to include 
those tags for the boundary ways, as that can be done easily by software 
(including the admin_level tag).

Cheers,

Rafael.
