What it means for a shareholder
57.1m new shares at A$0.035 to raise about A$2.0m. That's 3.9% dilution: every existing holder's slice gets 3.9% smaller. If you held A$1,000 of shares (28,571 at the issue price), your slice goes from 0.00205% to 0.00197% of the company. To keep it you'd need 1,168 more shares - about A$41 at the issue price.
