Re: [talk-au] Dual naming in NSW

I think including a "slash" character in a name tag is really ugly. That's not the way that the GNB record them. Unless someone can find some information on the ground that records it that way? I understand the desire to not diminish either name when they are dual named, but I think it's wrong t

Re: [talk-au] Dual naming in NSW
