I did receive a response from the user.  He was unaware of the 
Australian wiki guidance page, or the designated cities.
He states his criteria was purely population size as he believed a city 
to require population of ~100k or more.

No reversion has been done for the changeset; as a result I have 
manually re-tagged the Queensland cities, and intend to revisit should 
we reach a tagging
consensus that would require further amendment.
