# The backlog

Datasets are built in vote order. One click is one vote. Nobody is asked who they are. Only a licence can block a dataset.

- **Driver demographics in road crashes, Queensland** (Department of Transport and Main Roads, CC BY 4.0): live. Crash and casualty counts by year, police region and severity, split by whether a male, female, young, senior, provisional, overseas licensed or unlicensed driver was involved.
- **Factors in road crashes, Queensland** (Department of Transport and Main Roads, CC BY 4.0): live. Crash and casualty counts by year, police region and severity, split by whether drink driving, speed, driver fatigue or a defective vehicle was involved.
- **Road casualties, Queensland** (Department of Transport and Main Roads, CC BY 4.0): live. Casualties from Queensland road crashes counted by year, police region, severity, age group, gender and road user type.
- **Road crash locations, Queensland** (Department of Transport and Main Roads, CC BY 4.0): live. Every reported crash on a Queensland road since 1 January 2001, one row per crash, with its coordinates, severity, road conditions and casualty and vehicle counts.
- **Seatbelt and helmet use in road crash casualties, Queensland** (Department of Transport and Main Roads, CC BY 4.0): live. Casualty counts by year, police region, severity, age group, gender, road user type and whether a restraint or helmet was used.
- **Vehicle types in road crashes, Queensland** (Department of Transport and Main Roads, CC BY 4.0): live. Crash and casualty counts by year, police region and severity, split by whether a motorcycle or moped, a truck or a bus was involved.
- **Australian Government Organisations Register** (Department of Finance, CC BY 3.0 AU): building. Every Australian Government body with its portfolio, classification, auditor, ABN and head office. Quarterly since December 2014, with 49 releases on the portal to backfill as versions. One file per body under by/id/. Every quarterly release since 2014 as a version.
- **ABN Bulk Extract** (Australian Business Register, CC BY 3.0 AU): backlog. Every ABN with entity type, status, GST registration and postcode. Two 475 MiB XML archives, updated weekly. Parquet split by state and postcode. Needs an XML adapter.
- **ACNC Register of Australian charities** (Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission, CC BY 3.0 AU): backlog. Every registered charity with its ABN, status, purposes and operating locations. Weekly CSV of about 15 MiB. Parquet plus one file per state.
- **Fuel Check, NSW** (NSW Fair Trading, CC BY-SA 4.0): backlog. Fuel prices for every NSW service station, published monthly as XLSX. The licence is CC BY-SA, so the files here would carry CC BY-SA as well. Needs an XLSX adapter. Outputs carry the share-alike licence.
- **Year 12 outcomes by school, Queensland** (Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority, CC BY 4.0): backlog. Year 12 certification and subject results published as one web page per school per year, with no bulk download. We will ask the publisher for a file. Build from a bulk file when the publisher supplies one.
- **directory.gov.au daily export** (Department of Finance, CC BY 4.0): backlog. A daily XML dump of directory.gov.au, which includes the organisations register. Would add a daily version between the quarterly releases. Needs an XML adapter.
- **Coastal wave monitoring, Tweed offshore** (Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation, CC-BY-ND-4.0): blocked by licence. Half-hourly wave height, period and direction from the Tweed offshore buoy, one CSV per year.  CC BY-ND 4.0 does not allow derivative works. Most of the department's other datasets are CC BY 4.0, so one relicensing decision would unblock this and its sibling buoys.
- **Consultancies and contractors, Office of the Information Commissioner** (Office of the Information Commissioner Queensland, CC-BY-ND-4.0): blocked by licence. Annual consultancy and contractor spend. Published as XLSX and CSV.  CC BY-ND 4.0 does not allow derivative works, and a re-serialisation is one. It can be built if the publisher relicenses under CC BY 4.0, which is the Queensland Government default.
