To quote the latest news item on www.openaustralia.org:
Just in time for the next sitting, for your civic pleasure, we bring you the Senate. Read the Senate Hansard as far back as 2006, and get to know those lovely people working on your behalf, the Senators.
No bills pass without the say so of the Senate, so get over there and see what they’re up to. Better still, write to them and ask them what they’ve been doing on your behalf over the recess.
While we’ve tried to bring you a perfectly working website, it is in beta, so if you find anything broken, or see anything wrong, please drop us a line.
So, head on over to the main site and check it out.
