20. Powell, An Historical Geography of Modem Australia, 35. Joseph Powell suggests that the use of the prefix 'national' may refer to the state's provision of services to the community, as in 'national school' or 'national museum' and therefore has implicitly moral and democratic connotations. It also may suggest 'a sense of bigness of purpose and spatial extent'
