I don't think it is being devil's advocate. OSM shouldn't be a dumping ground for freely licensed data and this data would be much more useful outside the OSM DB because updates are more likely from the ABS than the OSM community. Before importing data I think there is a requirement to show how it can be usefully maintained by the OSM community. The current ABS data will expire like the 2006 one has. A compatible license would still make it useful for tracing roads, rivers etc when appropriate as a background layer in josm, potlatch etc. Ian.
