[@OKFNau] Central ckan or other repository for Aus data?

[Craig Thomler]

Hi Steve,

Worth considering also including all the data from Australian state &
fed government open data sites - just in case a future or current
government chooses to cease making data available due to either political
decision or budget cuts.

Case in point the US shutdown, where data.gov was taken offline for several
weeks.

That type of break in service makes open data quite risky for commercial
use.

Cheers,

Craig
