[@OKau] Contrasting 2 data sets (grants funding data)

Wed Apr 1 19:44:54 UTC 2015

This is really useful Rosie, nice work! I've ccd the data.gov.au team as
this kind of quantitative feedback really needs to also go back to the data
custodian. Did you send it to DSS or Queensland Communities? Might be worth
doing so to encourage improvements.

Cheers and keep up the great work,
Pia
