Thanks Ross
It seems to me that the human readable licence details imply permission
but I will not reopen that argument.
From what you say it can be done provided we get someone from
Geosciences Australia to specifically state that it is OK. Now we have
to find the person that is willing to sign away. This may be the tricky
bit.
The Mapconnect data is incomplete and not that wonderful but it is
better than what is in OSM at the moment, at least for WA. How much
effort do I put into this task?
Any other comments will be welcomed.

With the current terms and conditions you need to have permission of the
work owner to add it to the database.
Something that is licenced CC-BY-SA does not imply permission.
There have been numerous debates on this pre and post licence change in 2012
See here for an example of what has been done previously:

The licensing statement at
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/au/legalcode
and the human readable version seem to me to indicate that its use is
OK provided you give appropriate credit and show a link to the license.
I was looking for a way to import National Park Boundaries into OSM.
The data is there but, lets face it the licensing issues are so
complex that I do not know if we are allowed.
I have put a boundary around John Forrest National Park, just east of
Midland WA, ex an shp file from mapconnect. Easily revertible.
I would appreciate a response to the licensing issue and if the
boundary definition is OK.
Thanks
Warren
