In the email that I responded to (and which you in turn responded to me), there was a list of 5 options. Option 1 was to leave admin boundaries unchanged, and not align them (even as separate ways) to the coastline data, i.e they would cross-cross the coastline as we improved the coastline accuracy. As far as I recall, each of the responses to these options nominated option 1 as preferred. I interpret that as support for leaving the ABS imported data detached and unchanged, seeing there were other options in the list for detached and aligned. > the original email of this thread was > about a duplicate boundary being added from another data source and > the person importing didn't bother to merge the information properly, > or co-ordinate their efforts with the rest of the community. I know that, but that was no longer the topic of discussion when I entered the thread.
