Indeed. Speaking of which, the LPI would like submissions from us!

After my email enquiry a few weeks ago, I received this back from the

We can send submissions for the review to Greg Windsor 
greg.windsor at lpi.nsw.gov.au, so this might be a good chance to make 
some polite, positive suggestions and argue the case for releasing (at 
least) data like suburb boundaries under a licence suitable for 
inclusion in OSM.
