[talk-au] Petition to MP

Additionally to this, it's also why I am loath to change the ABS data where they do not line up on a street.

On the example below where is the correct ABS boundary.

I would expect it to be as plotted by the mass import of the ABS data not where the roads are at present.

Cheers
Ross
