Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) makes Voice Referendum donations disclosures public on 1 April (Easter Monday) [1]
Anyone know of open data projects that are processing AEC financial disclosure data into more usable/readable forms?
I'm interested in what the new data will say on how the No campaign was funded.

Was hunting for something and came across this article from my 2015 glory days. Was a great time to be innovating in public safety, and the promise of offline #nearlynet messaging in disaster situations was a fun challenge in 46hrs. #Tremorz #iHelp #app for #Govhack

At a #Govhack presentation last night about Heritage NSW, I asked them what licenses their data is available under. The response: "the state heritage register is open to anyone, and anyone can log on right now and have a look." I think perhaps Govhack need a bit more emphasis on the *open data* part of their spiel!
I'm still not sure, but it looks like the NSW heritage register is CC-BY, because it doesn't seem to have it's own copyright statement, and is covered by https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/about-us/copyright-and-disclaimer 🤷

In the lead up to #EverythingOpen on March 14-16, we'll be sharing session details and speaker bios, to give you a taste of what to expect.
First up is Pia Andrews @Greebo. You may know her from previous projects such as #GovHack, and she has a passion for both #OpenData and #OpenGovernment.
She'll be talking about "Creating #OpenSource Legislation as Code" - posing the question "What if we had open source legislation as code as a public utility?"

@mikejones @Simone66B @bestqualitycrab @Diana_mammalecology @theconversationau I remember that back from my #govhack days - such an excellent source of data that could be overlaid with other data to build a rich picture of an area's ecosystems. In a way, #hackathon like govhack provided an incentive or driver to keep APIs like ALA well-maintained. I wonder what other incentives could be used?

Good evening #folx, and welcome to today's edition of Kathy's #connectionlist #connection #introduction, where I curate a collection of interesting people and surface them - to connect us all more richly and deeply on the #Fediverse.
@pbone is a Mozillian and I'll be forever grateful to him and the Aussie team who made me so welcome as a part-timer. Thank you, Paul! 🇦🇺
@venessap is another #Geelong lady and she's also a #PhD candidate and she's a #moderation and #governance specialist 🇦🇺

I'm heading to the #GovHack thing at the state library tonight.

All wrapped up and done with #GovHack for now (not allowed to touch the thing till after judging!) so it's time to go home. Possibly via the pub.

Part of our #GovHack project needs to query Wikidata from within a wiki page, so now we can (in Lua): https://github.com/samwilson/UnlinkedWikibase/pull/5

#GovHack day two has begun! It began a few hours ago actually, with breakfast-time paper planning, but now that coffee has come the real work can start, and hopefully the wifi will keep up.
