The Hansard - How Parliament Gets Recorded

from Auspol Explained · host David Cox

Typing! I'm doing it now. I'm recording words. But while the sands of time will one day erase them and no one will read this sentence in a few decades, the Hansard Record will endure for centuries. What is Hansard? It's the official record of parliamentary debates of course! Hansard reporters are a key part of how parliament works because they write down all the speeches, questions and debates of the chambers and their committees so that we have an official record.Read the federal Hansard record here: https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Hansard Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplainedFollow me on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/auspolexplained.bsky.social Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auspolexplained/ Like Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Explained-107892180702388Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the episode was recorded and edited on.
