No I'm being serious. Your proposal is to use level 6 to map the entity 
"that performs the function of a 'local government authority'". In the 
case of the western part of NSW this is the New South Wales Government.



That said , and example would be the name used for nsw western bit
name = Unincorporated Area of Western NSW could be appropriate


No, that would be a description. There is no entity called 
"Unincorporated Area of Western NSW".



... run
by the Western Lands Commission - part of the NSW Dept of Environment ?


That's still a description and also not correct.

There is an administration that performs the function of a 'local
administration' .

The authority exercised is, in OSM terms, a level 6 authority.

The 'best fit' is level 6 - that is the authority that is exercised.


So under this definition there will be two quite large level 6 
boundaries called "New South Wales Government" and "South Australian 
Government". Not sure that will make anyone happy.


Near as I can figure .. your joking.


The state of NSW carries the name=New South Wales ... no Government here 
...  in fact I'd think very few things could carry the name * Government ?

name = Unincorporated Area of Western NSW could be appropriate ... run

Similar things will probably exist for other areas.
