If you run it with the verbose flag
 gnc-fq-dump -v asx afi
you get additional:

All fields returned by Finance::Quote for stock afi

stock field value
----- ----- -----
afi errormsg: Failed to parse HTML table.
afi last: **missing**
afi nav: **missing**
afi price: **missing**
afi success: 0

while
http://www.asx.com.au/asx/markets/equityPrices.do?by=asxCodes&asxCodes=AFI
returns some data. So it seems, they modified the layout of the page.
