Wait.

For those like me lost with the acronyms

DoEE, Commonwealth Department of Environment and Energy
CAPAD, Collaborative Australian Protected Areas Database

My thoughts ... initial .. subject to improvements?

A)
Data should not be removed from OSM base on a suspicion.
If you believe something comes from a copyright source then take it up 
with the contributor on an individual basis. If you don't want to do 
this .. then don't remove the data either.

B)
The NSW LPI data I would leave alone for now.
Work on those states that are not well defined or poorly represented in 
OSM.
I would compare the present data in OSM with the CAPAD data .. if it is 
the same then add the tag checked=CAPAD yyyy ? (where yyyy = numerical year)
If it is different then use the replace geometry tool and then alter the 
source tag..
If new .. then just add it as usual.

C)
Has the appropriate OSM permission for this import been obtained? It has 
been for past CAPAD .. but may need to be verified for 2016? Should be a 
simple thing?
Possibly the permission needs to be open ended like the DoEE permission 
to use it?

----------------------------
I note that the DoEE are using OSM mapping ... through mapbox.
