Current Situation
As of 2012, four professional clubs in Australian rules football, two in rugby union's Super Rugby competition, and one in rugby league operate on the 'other' side of the Barassi Line. All codes continue to seek opportunities to expand their presence on the other side of the line.
In 2012 the AFL has completed the development of two new teams on the opposite side of the line, the Gold Coast Football Club and the Greater Western Sydney Football Club and became the code with the most clubs operating on the opposite side of the line. In 2011 they also inaugurated the North East Australian Football League (NEAFL), a second level league comprising the reserve teams of those four AFL teams along with teams from the Northern Terrority, Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or situation:
“We all participate in weaving the social fabric; we should therefore all participate in patching the fabric when it develops holes—mismatches between old expectations and current realities.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
“The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about, bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, and eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own, that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
