About AU Political News

Primary sources, clear labels and original civic context.

AU Political News is designed to help readers follow Australian political announcements without confusing a political source with independent verification. We preserve source provenance in our news feed and publish separate explanatory guides that describe the institutions and procedures behind the headlines.

Our approach

What readers should expect

Transparency is part of the product. We explain what type of page you are reading, where the material came from and how to check the underlying source.

Source records

Official political material stays attributed

The automated news feed identifies the original publisher and links directly to the source. A source record is evidence of what the organisation published, not our endorsement of the claims inside it.

Original content

Explainers add context

Our explainer pages are written as standalone reference material about Parliament, elections, government, budgets and economic policy. They point readers to authoritative institutions for verification.
