I have created this list, but I am having trouble deciding how deep to list sub-departmental entities. All the information is available from the Government directory [1].

I am also considering changing the name of this article to List of Australian Commonwealth Government entities. Martyman 08:52, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite

I am going to rewrite this list, starting from a top level of Ministerial Portfolios. Martyman 03:30, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

I have rewritten this by portfolio as this is how the Australian Government Directory is ordered [2]. I have also added many of the missing governmental bodies. There may be some I have missed and many may be non-notable and could be removed. Martyman 23:12, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

This is great. However, I'm wondering whether this articles' function might better be served by an over-arching category with sub-categories and separate articles?--Cyberjunkie | Talk 13:40, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
True, that would be a much more elegant way of doing this. Unfortunatly it wouldn't properly replace this unless someone actually created a stub for all of the red links on this page, and that isn't very practical as many of these probably don't really deserve their own article. --Martyman-(talk) 21:01, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

It appears as though this page needs complete revision. For example, Mark Vaile is now the Minister for Transport and Regional Services, not Trade. There must be many other inaccuracies due to ministerial reshuffles. Talk 00:48, 01 May 2007(UTC)

[edit] Etc
