Hey, I'm only a Pom....and far be it for me to argue with you two Aussies!! (Very big grin!!) But I was under the impression the states were: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory (which kept the name "Territory" when it became a state some years ago.) So that leaves the Australian Capital Territory - all up, on my fingers, 7 states and 1 territory. However, given that the A.C.T. also now has its own Government responsible to the Federal Government (just like the rest of us), is the A.C.T. also now officially a State??!!!
