[talk-au] Local Government Areas without Councils

[Andrew Davidson]

So you want to put these areas into OSM, fair enough. But why do we have 
to break the definition of admin_level 6 when there are three 
admin_levels that are currently undefined, unusable, or redundant?

Another option is admin_level 7 which is currently so vaguely defined 
that we could come with a working definition that includes 
unincorporated areas with names.
