This is a fork of a 2001-ish era PHP app from MySociety in the UK, repurposed for Australia. This is the software running on https://openausralia.org.au
OpenAustralia.org.au is a website run by the non-partisan charity, OpenAustralia Foundation, which makes Australian government and parliamentary information easily accessible to the public through tools such as searching Hansard (parliamentary debates) and tracking politicians' voting records. The site aims to increase transparency and civic engagement in Australian democracy. It provides platforms to easily follow what MPs and Senators say and do, and tracks their registers of interests.
Everything elected politicians say in Australia's Senate and Parliament is recorded in Australia's Official Hansard. This documentation is obtained using scapers (see https://github.com/openaustralia/openaustralia-parser/ ) and displayed on openaustralia.org.au.
Data is also provided for public use at http://data.openaustralia.org.au/
