i found it to be true in melbourne but in NSW a middy (or pot in vic speak) is pretty damn close to a "beer crime".. not quiet as bad as the dreaded schmiddy (grr i hate schmidy's - less beer than a schooner & more expensive).. i'd have to say that the schooner is the NSW standard.. well thats generally what your given by bar staff if you dont stipulate a size

n a slight tangent, I always thought jugs were 1140 ml - ie the equivalent of 4 pots. Since when have they been 1125 or was this always the case?
