::::::Those are not good examples/free of bias as you are a heavy editor in that geographical region. That is why I chose randomly, but big pages not Albury. You did not answer the question I posed - is Pallarenda a suburb? In your words "IE Includes areas not relevant to Townsville's population".  

 The uncertainty here comes from the fact that none of the ABS definition are perfect for answering the question of population. One just has to chose one that is the best fit. You did not provide a prospective arguement for making a change, after the issue had been settle for > 1year (as illustrated above), hence the revisions. I see you comments now. Perhaps let others decide - eg editor of Perth or Hobart? Or Sydney - I challenge you to try and change that as well. Thinks about Pallarenda and please give an answer. Anyway I'm going to take a breath myself.
