I discovered two entries with errors that need correcting:

id postcode locality state lat long Lat_precise Long_precise
7987 4120 LORETO HILL QLD -27.5087 153.0442 -26.0118 111.348

ID 7987: Lat_precise & Long_precise are WAY off. The locality does not actually come up in Google Maps. I think the lat and long are correct and should be copied over to the precise fields. This also matches Geonames and the surrounding localities.

id postcode locality state lat long Lat_precise Long_precise
8086 4171 BALMORAL QLD -27.456 153.0604 -27.4539 153.0669
8087 4171 BULIMBA QLD -27.456 153.0604 -27.45 153.058
8089 4171 HAWTHORNE QLD -27.456 153.0604 -27.467 153.058
8088 4171 GALLOWAYS HILL QLD -10.7833 142.417 -10.7833 142.417

ID 8088: You'll notice Galloways Hill's location is grossly different to the surrounding localities in this postcode, and is clearly incorrect. Google Maps identifies a mountain peak in far north Queensland as Galloways Hill, but with a very different postcode (4876). The lat/long and Precise_lat/Precise_long in your list seem to incorrectly point to this north QLD place, far from the localities in 4171 which are in Brisbane. I would suggest using -27.475, 153.064 for both sets of fields, from Geonames, which matches closely with the surrounds.

If it's helpful to make a pull request with the updates, I can do so.
