[talk-au] Response regarding use of PSMA Administrative Boundaries (Australia)

[cleary]

Could I have clarification please? I had previously read the Import
Guidelines as referring to large scale imports of whole datasets (which
could have wide ramifications if there were problems) but not to items
being added individually and incrementally as occurred with LPI NSW
data.  Do the import guidelines apply to all data from other sources
even when only individual items are being added to OSM at any one time?
