   Could you please confirm the license for this data is CC-BY 2.5 as stated, since the other Commonwealth Electoral Boundary data license was not correct?

     Can I use this data in Open Street Map, which is moving to ODBL?

       I’m not a lawyer but:
       http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/au/legalcode
       – You are free to include this work in collective other works; like OSM
       – On the condition that you have a URI or other reference to the licence
       – And provide attribution to the data provider

       The ODBL is aimed at databases; and the content (ie: this) is intended to be licensed under other mechanisms.

       So long as via openstreetmap you can provide the necessary attribution and link to the CC-BY-SA license; you should be fine.

       At least that’s how I read http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/1.0/

       This is not the most up-to-date boundary. The current (http://data.gov.au/dataset/commonwealth-electoral-boundaries) is not available under an open license. Unless there is a disclaimer that out of date data is being used, I would not recommend it. Legally, it is OK.
