I think that might be a reference to a SA subspecies.

Dear All
I just received an email stating that there was only 280 GBC left in
Australia and to click onto the AMP website to register $1 for
Greening Australia to revegetate Kangaroo Island ( in short).
I have a number of problems with the blurb provided ( see below)
AMP Foundation will donate up to $10,000 to this project, so tell your
friends and encourage them to visit this site.
Greening Australia’s Glossy Black-Cockatoo project is a habitat
restoration project. The Glossy Black-Cockatoo isonly found on
Kangaroo Island in South Australia and there are only approximately280
of these critically endangered birds left.
The project works with local community and youth to re-establish
vegetation in areas of Kangaroo Island and the Fleurieu Peninsula.
It's a pity that they don't get their facts straight first. To that
extent, is there a reasonable estimate of how many there are across
Australia?????
