The WiFeS S7 AGN survey: Current status and recent results on NGC 6300
  The Siding Spring Southern Seyfert Spectroscopic Snapshot Survey (S7) is a
targeted survey probing the narrow-line regions (NLRs) of a representative
sample of ~140 nearby (z<0.02) Seyfert galaxies by means of optical integral
field spectroscopy. The survey is based on a homogeneous data set observed
using the Wide Field Spectrograph WiFeS. The data provide a 25x38 arcsec$^2$
field-of-view around the galaxy centre at typically ~1.5 arcsec spatial
resolution and cover a wavelength range between ~3400 - 7100 $\AA$ at spectral
resolutions of ~100 km s$^{-1}$ and ~50 km s$^{-1}$ in the blue and red parts,
respectively. The survey is primarily designed to study gas excitation and star
formation around AGN, with a special focus on the shape of the AGN ionising
continuum, the interaction between radio jets and the NLR gas, and the nature
of nuclear LINER emission. We provide an overview of the current status of
S7-based results and present new results for NGC 6300.
