Sources and coverage

As at 2:50 am on 21 Oct 2026 (Sydney time), we monitor 170 live sources. Live jurisdictions are federal, NSW, Victoria and Queensland, plus a first set of Western Australian and South Australian sources. Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory come next.

  • 170live sources we monitor
  • 62listed on this page
  • 108further sources, shown as counts

The counts include ministry lists and sitting calendars as well as sources of news, legislation and consultations. A count is the number of live sources for a place, not a measure of how much of its government we cover.

What we collect

Official legislation registers and APIs, government media releases, regulators, consultation hubs, government gazettes and, where permitted, parliaments’ published data. We also collect from stakeholders: political parties and MPs (government, opposition and crossbench), think tanks and industry associations.

We hold items from July 2026 on. Bills still before a parliament and consultations still open are kept whatever their start date.

Most sources are collected overnight; news pages every two hours through the day.

Each item links to its official source. How we collect, check and label items.

Official sources we list

Official sources, that is governments, parliaments and regulators, whose licences allow us to list them publicly, by jurisdiction. Each name links to the source’s own page.

We also monitor 108 further sources, including political parties, MPs, think tanks and industry associations. We show these as counts so coverage reads even-handedly, and some sources’ licences don’t allow us to list them.

What we don’t cover yet

  • Federal bills still before Parliament: we are waiting on Parliament data access. Federal Acts appear once they have passed.
  • Tasmania, the ACT and the Northern Territory come next.
  • Local government and courts.
  • Sites that refuse automated access. We follow each site’s robots.txt and terms of use and never work around a refusal: we ask the site’s owner for access instead. Where an agency offers email alerts, they may be the route.
