In /etc/apt/sources.list you need something like:
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib
non-free
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main
contrib non-free
