Everywhere else I've seen on the internet about this has
the same typos and missing track and album names, because they just
copy/pasted from the ARIA Twitter. They've also left out the Fine Arts
winners. Get it together, Australians. (Though I am not bothering with
artisans because eh.) So here you go, all on one page. I will listen to all of it. ALL OF IT. Then I will return and add appropriate notes to this entry.
