In a collaborative effort with a distinguished Australian journalist, we developed an interactive tool that offers users the ability to search for individuals (for instance, John Howard) or organisations (such as energy companies). This tool uncovers the concealed connections between various parties.
The tool illuminates the links between two parties, whether directly or through a third party. The data forming these links was meticulously curated by hand. The resultant application provides journalists and other interested parties with a clear view of the political landscape surrounding climate denialism in Australia.

As part of our continuous collaboration with the Victorian Department of Education and Training, we have developed the VETStat portal. This platform offers an extensive suite of visualisations, showcasing the performance of training organisations from both the Student and Employer perspectives.
The portal presents both historical and current results, enabling training organisations to swiftly comprehend their key performance indicators. Additionally, they can delve into the detailed results of performance surveys. This dual-pronged approach ensures that organisations have all the information they need to continually enhance their performance.

In collaboration with Origin Energy and their social media team, Flink Labs has designed and implemented a series of animated visualisations. These have been deployed on a series of large screens within their office premises.
These real-time visualisations extract data directly from various social media sources, providing a comprehensive analysis of the social media landscape. This includes sentiment analysis, natural language processing, and network analysis. Our aim is to offer a holistic view of the social media environment, thereby enabling more informed decision-making.
