I believe this may not compatible with OSM... b) ...Unless you got the data from http://data.gov.au/ for which OSM has obtained rights to import 3) Tagging - why only place: locality, and not place:city/hamlet/town mappings? a) GA name data appears to also other place types such as Mountains/hills that could be useful see http://www.ga.gov.au/place-name/ 4) Using String compare to deduplicate names is probably insufficient - there should be a manual check as well due to potential local-use/mis-spellings in OSM data vs approved names - can you share your de-duplication code? 5) Have you read http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines ?
