    Definition of Australia as per Acts Interpretation Act 1901:
    “Australia means the Commonwealth of Australia and, when used in a geographical sense, includes Norfolk Island, the Territory of Christmas Island and the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, but does not include any other external Territory.”

    Are you able to explain how this definition allows you to tick ‘Leaving Australia’ on AEC enrolments, while technically staying on the landmass known as Australia? As it seems they have also referred to Australia in a geographical sense.
