How this was made
From the official record to a page you can read.
Parliament publishes everything — every bill, every speech, every vote — but spread across thousands of dense documents. This site collects those documents, has AI rewrite them in plain English, and then checks every claim against the originals before anything is published. Here is each step.
What we read — the official record
Also read, for context only — news coverage
We also read what journalists report about a bill, drawing on established outlets such as:
…and other recognised mastheads. News is used for background and public reaction only — never as the source of a fact. Facts always come from the official record above.
- 01
Collect
We gather everything Parliament publishes about each bill
For each of the 700+ bills we cover, our system downloads the bill’s text, the government’s explanation, every speech made about it, every proposed change, every vote, and every committee report — along with related news coverage for background.
- 02
File
Every document is filed with its origin attached
Each document is stored with where it came from, who published it, and when. Nothing on this site exists without a paper trail back to an original document — that paper trail is what makes the later checking steps possible.
- 03
Write
AI rewrites the documents in plain English
An AI model drafts each part of a bill’s page: what the bill does, what each speaker argued, what was changed, and how the votes went. The AI is only allowed to use the documents we collected — not its own memory — and it must point to the exact document behind every claim it makes.
- 04
Check
Software checks every quote and reference
Before anything goes further, a checking program (ordinary software, not AI) goes through the draft line by line: every quote must appear word-for-word in the original document, and every reference must point to a real one. Anything that fails is thrown out.
- 05
Double-check
A second AI re-reads the page looking for mistakes
A separate AI fact-checker reads the finished page against the original documents and flags anything they don’t actually support. We test this checker by planting deliberate errors and measuring how many it catches, so we know how reliable it is.
- 06
Review & publish
New pages are compared and reviewed before going live
When a page is rebuilt, the new version is compared with the one already published, section by section, and reviewed. Only pages that pass this final review appear on the site.
What you see
Bill pages
Plain-language pages for 700+ federal bills
What each bill does, who said what, how the votes went, and what became law — with every claim linked to its source.
Ask
A research assistant you can question directly
It answers from the same official documents and shows its sources, so you can check every answer yourself.
What this means for you
Written by AI, tied to documents
The words on each page are written by AI — but only from official documents, and only after the checks above pass. We never publish a quote we could not find in the record.
News is background, not evidence
Where a page mentions public debate or media reaction, that comes from news coverage and is presented as context. The facts — what a bill says, who voted how — always come from the official record.
Not the official record
This is an independent project, not affiliated with Parliament. For the legal text of any bill or law, go to Parliament’s own site or the Federal Register of Legislation.
Mistakes are still possible
The checking reduces errors; it does not eliminate them. That is why every page links to its sources — so you can verify anything that matters to you.
