When exporting data via overpass as CSV; it's not currently easy or obvious to appropriately bring in the parent attributes; even if it is for a Real Human looking at the map. There's a fair number of use cases for "data in a spreadsheet friendly format" I feel. Yes, it does come with a maintenance problem when suburbs change or postcodes merge, but I feel that's one problem for one set of folks - us maintainers - vs a repeated problem for many simple data consumers. Ideally, as maintainers, we would over time semi automated this with tooling (much like the proposed import)
