It's a bit of a hack but it would be much better if navit pulled the is_in
information from admin boundaries, there is a boundary for most countries and
things within Australia.

I wonder, how hard would it be to write a script which looked at the ABS

completely within the multipolygon relation?
Or would it be better to modify the routing software to look at the ABS
boundaries instead?
