The correct answer is Brisbane (Australia).

Karachi is a former capital of Pakistan.

Auckland is a former capital of New Zealand.

Kyoto is a former capital of Japan.

However, Brisbane has never been a capital city of Australia. The capital of Australia is Canberra. Brisbane is a major city in the state of Queensland, Australia, but it has never served as the national capital.
