I understand the intent but I disagree.
I have a special interest in administrative boundaries and their implications etc. As far as I am aware, Norfolk Island is still a territory of Australia. It is now part of Australia but is not part of any state. Three other territories in this category are Northern Territory, Australian Capital Territory and Jervis Bay Territory, each of which are different and for different reasons. Norfolk Island still has its own Administrator, its own Court of Petty Sessions, Supreme Court, and the Administrative Review Tribunal of Norfolk Island. I have never visited Norfolk Island but I understand that, although Burnt Pine is a larger settlement, the Administrator and the courts are all based in Kingston. Although its laws are now largely the laws of NSW or the Commonwealth, they are applied as if they are the laws of Norfolk and are interpreted and judged by Norfolk courts. It is an unusual and special case but I think Kingston still qualifies as the capital of an Australian territory.
