  It looks like the WIA repeater directory (https://www.wia.org.au/members/repeaters/data/) is now accessible to WIA members only.  Previouly it was publicly accessible.
  I hope that is an unintentional glitch due to WIA's recent web site issues and will be fixed soon.
  
  I encountered the issue when I attempted to update a comprehensive codeplug for 3 Analog/DMR radios which has all of Australia's 2m and 70cm repeaters covered.
  Previously, the data was semi-automatically extracted from WIA's "Repeater Directory 191212.csv". 
  
  As far as I can tell there is no other, authoritative Repeater Directory for Australia.
  

  1. https://www.onlinerepeatermap.com states on their home page:
     "All repeater information is taken directly from the latest version of the Wireless Institute of Australia’s Repeater Directory (191212)."
     Also, "onlinerepeatermap.com" is not suitable for auto-extraction of all Australian repeaters.
     
     
  2. The ACMA database does not have the CTCSS tones and without those, many of Australia's repeaters are practically inaccessible.
     
     

  However, there is (sort of) a workaround: 
  https://www.repeaterbook.com/ lists 701 Australian repeaters and it most likely relies on someone (VK2DNA at this time) to upload the WIA Repeater Directory.
  Access to machine-friendly data requires registration (free).

  I just clicked on that URL and could download both the .pdf and .csv versions.
  
  I am a member but not logged in, in fact I can't recall the last time I did.
  
  Perhaps clear your browser's cache and try again.

  I can get the files now too.  :-)
  
  Seems to be fixed.  Great!

  I reported a whole raft of stuff that was giving errors such as you found, most of which seems to now be fixed.
