If a business or a governing body is to address a political issue, for it’s own good it had better damn well make sure it takes a left wing stance. That’s the difference in the two examples you mentioned.
It is 115 pages long and have over 35,000 words. In my time on Council, every time we tried to name some road or place after a notable living citizen; the Minister knocked it back.

Principle (H) Using commemorative names
Naming often commemorates an event, person or place. Examples include recognising Aboriginal people or cultural events, or following a theme such as Australian war contributions (refer to Section 2.3 Anzac commemorative naming project). When considering a commemorative name, the following points must be considered.
If named after a person, that person should be or have been held in strong regard by the community, with preference given to unofficial names used by the local community.
When deciding on the assignment of a commemorative name, naming authorities should consider the person’s achievements, relevant history and association to the area, and the significance of the family/person to the area/land. For example, a family that has been associated with an area for at least 50 years.
The names of people who are still alive must be avoided because community attitudes and opinions can change over time.
A commemorative name applied to a locality or road should use only the surname of a person, not first or given names.
A commemorative name applied to a feature can use the first name and surname of a person; although, it is preferred that only the surname be used.
The initials of a given name are not to be used in any instance.
ACT is themed and if IIRC have to be dead for 2 years minimum. But that’s no guarantee. McMillan electorate in Gippsland finally renamed. PIty the poor sods in the future who have to live in an Abbott electorate, in line with naming them after PMs.
