Info on the CanadaSpends site - I’m not sure if government spending data is in the Aotearoa Data Explorer, but it would be nice if it was (it doesn’t seem to be in the list).
I wonder if ‘boring’ tech like sqlite with ‘simple’ tools like datasette would work better than whatever it is that ADE is using. I do like that stats.govt.nz offers CSV and other data types as well as the explorer, and offers and API.
