Hi Rosie,

It look good, however I can't see any reference to time frames to 'place'
the data by period. This makes it hard to judge whether the data is
aggregated over a long period and represents the net total from successive
governments.

Some more context in this regard, as well as the capability to bound
searches by dates (at minimum financial year) would assist in making sense
of the data and help people use it effectively.

Cheers,

Craig
