Parliament Today

A new website dedicated to the timely and accurate coverage of the New Zealand Parliament was launched today by Scoop Media Limited. It is “dedicated to the timely and accurate coverage of the New Zealand Parliament.

The new Parliament Today website will provide a useful complement to the radio and television broadcasts of Parliament as it will allow interested people to nearly instantaneously find out where parliamentary debates are up to, voting numbers on bills, whether bills have been passed or sent back to select committee or otherwise dealt with.

You can also look up the day’s Order paper.

While most of this information is presently available via Hansard after the event it is not immediately available as it happens, and this is the main niche that this new site will serve. You can also follow the site on Twitter.
