Mostly not here any more – find me at the other place.

@MarkusMannheim @DarMurp @AusElectoralCom If you're writing something to parse the AEC's Senate preference file, where there are both ATL and BTL votes you'll need to test them for formality to see which one to use.

@benraue @AUS_Hansard That I can't help with, unfortunately. The historic Hansard is mostly managed by the Library, but not the in-process one. Though it stays as a draft for a while so it will probably be corrected before it's finalised.

[damon muller @damonism]

@benraue @AUS_Hansard Is it recent or old (a few years ago or more – I'm not sure precisely where the cutoff is)? If it's old shoot me an email and I should be able to put it in front of the right people.

@benraue @JustElexMaps @AusElectoralCom You can grab the shapefiles from the Handbook API, in theory, although I've not had any luck getting them working with R/sf. They're just KMZ files, I think. So yeah, they're "available", but probably not very accessible.

@benraue @BrentHodgson @AntonyGreenElec @AusElectoralCom @TassieTrainNerd There is an API you can use to access the maps (or anything else in the data), but in practice I’ve never got those maps working in R and I’m not sure why. API access is “supported” but also undocumented and likely to change without notice.

@AntonyGreenElec @AusElectoralCom @TassieTrainNerd @BrentHodgson There are maps going back to Federation on the Electorates page of the Parliamentary Handbook https://t.co/49g8IfX9Lx
