ozdata

Overview

There are many high quality data sets that are freely available for Australia. Unfortunately they can be difficult to obtain and analyse. Here we provide tools to programmatically import and explore Australian data sets. Data can be obtained from the official Australian government portal, which contains over 40,000 data sets (https://data.gov.au). Additionally, economic data sets can be obtained from the Australian Macro Database (http://ozmacrodata.org). This project was created during the 2017 BURGr R UnConference https://github.com/AU-BURGr/UnConf2017.
