The explicit permission that we received was for data released directly by the Australian government, it is unclear if that could apply to data that they have licensed from a third party for distribution which seems to be the case here.
CC by 4.0 reduced the requirements on attribution compared to earlier versions and people have argued that the indirect attribution (OpenStreetMap -> osm.org -> original datasource) might be enough to satisfy them, however I would suggest getting explicit permission from either PSMA or Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet 02 6271 5111 spat...@pmc.gov.au <mailto:spat...@pmc.gov.au> to be on the safe side. The further issue I see, is with the additional privacy principles that must be followed. We cannot restrict how our data is used outside of the ODbL terms. While we might not be adding personal information, downstream that may well happen. A possible workaround might be for either PSMA or pmc.gov.au to identify which datasets are touchy and not import/use them (and lift the additional terms for the remaining datasets).
