And what about people who think that Sidney is the capital of Australia? Technically Australia has 3 capitals |

And what about people who think that Sidney is the capital of Australia? You spelt Sydney wrong....but yes that is annoying. And The Light Bringer, there is no way at all that you can look at it that Australia ever has three capitals. It does not, never has had and never will. Not technically and not in any way. |

Well, technically, Melbourne used to be the de facto capital between 1901 and 1927, but unless if Kalpaks think the term 'Finacial Centres' and Melbourne's self-proclaimed cultral capital of Australia are official in any way, there is no way to prove with logic that Australia has 3 capitals. Also, Melbourne > Sydney. Source: Was Melburnian before I moved to US. |

Well, different capitals exist when different government functions are performed at different places. The seat of Bolivian judiciary and executive branches is in La Paz, while the legislative is in Sucre.
I don't think the Australian federal government, Parliament, and judiciary have their seat at different cities.
If we count territorial capital, the number goes to 8. I suppose if we ignore every part of Australia bar the ACT, NSW, and Victoria it goes to 3.
Counting historical capitals, only 2.

All three branches of government are in Canberra, we are not like South Africa with Pretoria, Bloemfontein and Cape Town as capitals (Johannesburg still isn't a capital there either, Kalpaks) or Boliva. We have one capital. |

Wanted to make a USSRball joke, starts off with asking dress code for the day (it's a red coloured t-shirt) and instead the person who replied thought that I didn't know the dress code.
Then again, I'm not known for jokes, giving or understanding jokes.

It is not like they were defacto capitals in one time it is more of like biggest city, biggest economy and parliament are 3 different things, it is not like SAR (which has 3 official)at all, but it has developed over time that Australia has 3 central cities not one and that technically makes the rest cities with country wise importance |
