What happend to Tasmania and ACT on the state by state list?

Good question!

Despite being relatively low in terms of population numbers compared to other states, Tasmania and ACT don't have the infrastructure to collate the information. Hopefully, this will change over the next few years.

I hope so as it seems to me that these states get left out all the time

ACT is there, William and Olivia were the most popular.
