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?"
