[talk-au] Importing 200 emergency markers?

[forster at ozonline.com.au]

Hi

This subject was discussed in October.
The dataset they are sharing is likely to be
https://data.gov.au/data/dataset/esta-emergency-markers/resource/44add10f-a478-4ab0-a6fa-227493663b28

and it was determined that we do not have the right licence to use this data.

I say likely to be the same dataset, I am fairly sure but no guarantee.
