On July 4, Canberra and Brisbane were readmitted following a 'separate and different exercise to the assessment process'. On September 26, Canberra were kicked out again, on the grounds of a failure of the Cosmos to prove their financial viability and the club's decision to release its guarantors from their responsibilities in July.
