I suggest you use "copy and paste" as normal lazy people do. You have omitted the entire context. Last time you made these claims, we asked for the original to made available, and we still haven't seen an original. When I get an email from a bureaucrat, it follows a specific formula "Dear writer In reply to email of date xxyyzz Text End Text Yours sincerely Joe Bureaucrat Head_Of_Writing_Emails Department of XXYY" As we are trying to tell you, AGIMO, who owns the "data.gov.au" domain, does not grant any copyright permissions whatsoever. They are a place which consolidates data and makes it available, but the actual government department or qango which owns the data has to be approached for an alteration in any licence conditions or confirmation of licence conditions. As you persist down this path, you will be responsible for putting in your ODbL-licensed database material which is incompatible, as it is CC-BY 2.5 licensed data.
