Because I'd prefer not to have anything geographic in the name at all,
or not for a private system that is quite likely at some time to decide
to relocate to some other state.   Not because anything would need to alter
if that happened, but because people would always wonder why the system
belonging to someone living in Melbourne is called bloggs.wa.priv.au
or something - there'd be a lot of pressure (and perhaps some people
thinking it was necessary) to change the name to bloggs.vic.priv.au
which is the very thing that shouldn't be necessary.

Even if it was divided based on states - yes - I'd hate to be the poor
sucker stuck with the job of maintaining a list of every home computer
in Melbourne, let alone the rest of the state.

I don't want to even think about that lot - other than to say that
as far as the oz.au domain goes they're fine.
