The UWA mirror is currently empty, as is ftp.wa.au.debian.org. You will
have to chose to use a different mirror for the time being. What you
might like to do is copy and paste the contents of your
/etc/apt/sources.list into itself (i.e. duplicated its contents) and
then replace mirrors.uwa.edu.au with something like mirror.aarnet.edu.au
(or a Western Australian mirror, if you can find one that's got a
up-to-date with regards to kernel security). The paths for the AARNet
mirror are like this:

deb http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

compared to the UWA paths, which are like this:

deb http://ftp.uwa.edu.au/mirrors/linux/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

Then, "comment out" all the UWA paths by putting a # in front of each
line:

#deb http://ftp.uwa.edu.au/mirrors/linux/debian/ stable main contrib non-free

This will reduce the number of error message you get, because APT will
pick up the AARNet lines and ignore the UWA lines. You will then need to
do `apt-get update` so that APT can download the lists of packages from
the AARNet mirror.
