In my experience, one of the devil details is continuously keeping such a database updated. Without a set of common standards among the various governments, they can capriciously change URLs, formatting, and other details that may make it somebody's fulltime job to keep it accurate and always up to date. Of course, not all use cases will require that, but many will.

Ultimately, however, I’m hoping that in the long term, the Australian Government will see the use in this project and decide to maintain it.
