Syndication of The Phantom in Australia and neighbouring countries (New Zealand, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Vanuatu), is managed by the Yaffa Publishing Group in Sydney, NSW. The following list is based on information gained from Yaffa's Sales Manager, Ian Dale, in November 2000. It appears that Australia alone accounts for 21% of the known global syndication of The Phantom newspaper strips. New South Wales and Queensland are the strongholds for The Phantom syndication. Melbourne's Herald Sun Sunday dropped The Phantom in 2000, leaving Victoria as the only state in which News Ltd does not carry the Sunday strip.
