What are the possible disadvantages, or risks, of taking part?
"It is not anticipated that there are any risks to participation in this study beyond those encountered during everyday life. There should be no adverse events that you will suffer from participating in the project, but if you do then please contact the chief investigator"
What the hell does that mean ?

Before clicking the link I'd like to see some verification from the CSC admin staff that this is legitimate.
That's what I've asked for Lods - recommend NOT clinking the link until this has been resolved.

Can I suggest it be closed down for now? I'm furious with this OP question as it is for a multitude of reasons

Seems like some overreaction to this. All those people mentioned as researchers and co researchers have legit profiles at the University South Australia and other places. Unless they are that rare breed of academics who are up to no good, or unless someone has stolen their profiles (to what end I can't imagine), I'd say the chances of anything suss is pretty low.

It is a standard “informed consent” statement that appears (in similar form) in research involving volunteer participation. In other words, the researcher’s institution covering its butt.

Yes, but “theacademic” could have avoided angst by providing some background, such as institution, research design, use of results, etc in the original post.
