OK here's my 2 cents, why not combine the two and have:

	node.state.priv.au
	eg:
	node.vic.priv.au

Could you really see the demand getting that big that you'd want
a seperate letter to break them up? I think the .priv.au is a
good idea though.

What about the private (or some anyway) systems in the .pub.uu.oz.au
domain?
