Which jurisdictions are missing

Victorian agencies do not appear here. VIC's award notices do not name the buying agency in the published list data, so we cannot attribute those contracts to an agency yet — that needs a detail-page crawl we have not completed. South Australia is absent because we do not ingest SA procurement at all. Where NT does not publish a winning supplier, the agency page says so instead of showing an empty table.
