You can download the 2013 Senate below-the-line preferences from here:

http://results.aec.gov.au/17496/Website/SenateDownloadsMenu-...

(Down the bottom, under “State Below the Line Preferences”)

I think those files, plus the above-the-line preferences should be enough to re-do the AEC's calculation... I would be interested to know if anyone had ever tried that.
