 "description": "<div align=\"left\">\n    <p>The ASGS State and Territory boundaries are a cartographic representation of legally designated boundaries and therefore should not be used for legal purposes. In general, the total area of each State and Territory, including their offshore islands, is used for statistical purposes as a separate geographic area in the ASGS. However, the Jervis Bay Territory, and the Territories of Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Norfolk Island are included as one geographic area at the State and Territory level under the category of Other Territories. States and Territories consist of one or more Statistical Area Level 4 (SA4). In aggregate, they cover Australia without gaps or overlaps.<\/p>\n    <p>\n        <b>Data and geography references <\/b>\n        <ul>\n            <li>Source data publication: <a href=\"https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards/australian-statistical-geography-standard-asgs/edition-4-july-2026-june-2031\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 4<\/u><\/a> <\/li>\n            <li>Geographic boundary information: <a href=\"https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards/australian-statistical-geography-standard-asgs/edition-4-july-2026-june-2031/main-structure-and-greater-capital-city-statistical-areas/australia-and-stateterritory\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 4 - Australia and State/Territory<\/u><\/a> <\/li>\n            <li>Further information: <a href=\"https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/standards/australian-statistical-geography-standard-asgs/edition-4-july-2026-june-2031/main-structure-and-greater-capital-city-statistical-areas\"  target=\"_blank\"><u>Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS) Edition 4 - Main Structure and Greater Capital City Statistical Areas<\/u><\/a> <\/li>\n            <li>Source: <a href=\"https://www.abs.gov.au/\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/p>        \n    <p>\n        <b>Contact the Australian Bureau of Statistics<\/b>\n        <ul> \n            <li>Email <a href=\"mailto:geography@abs.gov.au\"><u>geography@abs.gov.au<\/u><\/a> if you have any questions or feedback about this web service. <\/li>\n            <li><a href=\"https://www.subscribe.abs.gov.au/geospatialnews\" target=\"_blank\"><u>Subscribe<\/u><\/a> to get updates on ABS web services and geospatial products. <\/li>\n        <\/ul>\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n        <b>Privacy at the Australian Bureau of Statistics<\/b>\n        <br>Read how the ABS manages personal information - <a href=\"https://www.abs.gov.au/about/legislation-and-policy/privacy/privacy-abs\" target=\"_blank\"><u>ABS privacy policy<\/u><\/a>.\n    <\/p>\n<\/div>",
