Australia Has States & Territories, Not Provinces

Zero provinces. Australia is a federation of:

• 6 States: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania.
• 2 Mainland Territories: Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Northern Territory (NT).
• 7 External Territories: Norfolk Island, Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Ashmore & Cartier, Coral Sea Islands, Heard & McDonald, Australian Antarctic Territory.

States have constitutional sovereignty; territories derive powers from federal legislation. "Province" is not used in Australian governance.
