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:
“You are the current of the frozen stream,
Shadow invisible, ambushed and vigilant flame.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“... the task of youth is not only its own salvation but the salvation of those against whom it rebels, but in that case there must be something vital to rebel against and if the elderly stiffly refuse to put up a vigorous front of their own, it leaves the entire situation in a mist.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
