You could change broker to TDWaterhouse, They have EOD for free about 9pm.
You do one down load of TXT file which contains everything. Then import to AB. Thirty seconds is all it takes.

Subject: [amibroker] Australian Stock Exchange data for Amibroker
> Hi guys,
>
> I'm wondering if there are any Australian users of Amibroker out there?
> If so, can anybody recommend a good way to get end-of-day data, ideally
> without shelling out hundreds of dollars for a subscription!
>
> The Amibroker helpfile suggests using the Australian finance.yahoo.com
> with AmiQuote, but I seem to get some very strange data with that
> method. For example, it seems to be pricing Telstra (TLS) at about $12.
> I wish that were true but it's really down in the $5.20's. Meanwhile,
> Woolworths (WOW) just doesn't seem to get any data at all. Although the
> yahoo / amiquote method seems to produce accurate prices in AmiBroker
> for a few stocks, many of them seem to be missing or simply wrong. And
> it's obviously impractical to manually check 1800-odd securities so if
> even one or two are erroneous, the whole database becomes worthless.
>
> There is another method listed in one of the AmiBroker newsletters using
> a chunk of java, a custom applet called URLget and a site named
> australian-stockmarket.com. Unfortunately, however, this site appears to
> have vanished, so it is impossible to get any data from it.
>
> I use ComSec as my broker and they provide a facility for downloading
> historical data, but it doesn't include open prices (only HLC so no
> candlesticks). Also you have to do it stock by stock so it's a big job
> to download the entire ASX every day!
>
> Does anyone have any other suggestions? Or has somebody managed to get
> it working with yahoo? I'd really appreciate any advice because the
> software looks good but it's useless without a reliable and
> comprehensive data supply!

> Many thanks,
