[eest said]

Are there any services - free or paid - that provide good market wide data like total dividends and buybacks for All Ordinaries Index?

There used to be a great amount of information freely available at the asx.com.au website, but that has been gradually reduced over time, selling the access rights to on-sellers.
Some of these on-sellers offer limited data for free, e.g. Yahoo Finance.
For dividends, I use http://www.sharedividends.com.au/jhx+dividend+history who provide some quite expansive history.
Good luck.

Thanks pixel.
Services like Datanalysis and SIRCA seem to hold it but it's held for institutions. And no doubt asx once would have had this available
Sharedividends.com.au is helpful - so thank you for that. Any thoughts on repurchases or total cash yields?
My thanks again.

Any thoughts on repurchases

You mean buy-backs?
No, I can't recall having seen any compilation of those.
My Broker's software keeps sending me daily alerts, but that covers only stocks that I happen to have on my watchlist. Then it's up to me to collate the progress. However, I would not go to any great lengths trying to find any correlation between buy-back and share price. Some shares keep falling in spite of buy-back, others rise. That suggests to me that it's far too stock and situation-specific for any conclusions to be drawn.

Also called shareholder's yield. Saw this article which talks about some research on this metric.

Live stock broker upgrades, downgrades, analysis, reports, recommendations etc. would be very handy. Doesn't appear to be one place to get that information as it comes out.
