A clearing house of events nationally is never going to happen. It would mean that "teachers" and the few clubs would need to band together and form a Australian Tango Federation of sorts similar to what they do in ballroom, to regulate the syllabus, qualifications, competitions etc. At least informally I believe in Melbourne teachers talk to each other. If BsAs had such a Federation then maybe Australia would follow in its footsteps. I have heard that of local milongas that had waned in the past couple of years. So to me any event that attracts people to make a critical mass of dancers, can only do the community good.
