Those individuals who are concerned should lobby the government NOW. Not
wait for the licence to be declared, nor any requirements made.

Hi all,

Provided the license is CC-BY-3.0 or better; we already have explicit
permission to use said data:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Attribution/data.gov.au_explicit_permission
The web link in the above ref (http://data.australia.gov.au) is no
longer valid ...
For those of you interested in what specific data this is, I'd
encourage you to have a read of:
https://www.psma.com.au/sites/default/files/g-naf_product_description.pdf
At the moment if looks like you have to subscribe and then they send you
out the data.
Of interest to us:
* Address points with geocoding and full structured address information
* Authoritive street names for a given suburb, with geocoding (points
though, not polylines)
* Authoritative suburb/locality points, geocoded - likely of better
accuracy than ABS "Statistic Suburb" data.
* Data refreshed quarterly; sourced from local and state government
(so emailing your council to submit a data correction from survey is
plausible)
Contains Australia Post boundaries for post codes. Might be used for
suburban name boundaries?
