2019 postcode mapping

Updated list of electorates/postcodes for the 2019 federal election.

I'm not sure if this can be committed yet; as it would leave us with some sitting members in seats that aren't in this list and some seats without members.

On the other hand, not committing it means that we'll still be serving up people's current division, when what they're probably after is what division they're going to be voting in in the upcoming election.
so..

I'm not sure what to do.,

@jamezpolley my immediate feeling is to make the change.. Most people using the site this week will be using it for election-related reasons, so it's best that the postcode mapping is correct, even if it causes some confusion due to those matters you mentioned. Better than spreading misinformation, yeah? And they can always email us if they're having trouble.. That said, it's also not the end of the world if you'd prefer to hold off until next week.

I'm having trouble building a test environment to test this in.

Our version of mysql is too old and doesn't seem to be available any more

• Can't build mysql.test as PPA is broken infrastructure#125

The Ansible module we use for installing RVM installs the latest version of bundler. That's 2.0.1, which doesn't work on old versions of Ruby like the one we're using.

• Can't provision openaustralia.org.au.test; bundler requires ruby >=2.3.0 infrastructure#126

We can work around that by manually installing an older version of bundler, but then we run into other issues with the recent versions of RVM. It looks like the issue we're hitting here is that RVM is trying to install no-longer-available versions of various packages.

• Can't install ruby-2.3.8 on xenial infrastructure#127
• Can't install ruby-1.8.7-p374 on xenial infrastructure#128
