Description: http://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?TAXON_KEY=1452&COUNTRY=SA shows many records identified as coming from Saudi Arabia.  The coordinate mismatch is detected.  These are all from South Australia.

Not sure whether we have a quick way to fix these.

They are all from a single dataset, and all have country=SA, which is the ISO code for Saudi Arabia.

The quick fix is for the data publisher to change this, so country=AU.
