Party platform vs. personal action

A party manifesto sets out collective election commitments. A representative’s questions, speeches and committee work provide a separate record of their activity. A proposal or announcement is not proof of delivery. National and state election platforms have distinct cycles.

Follow the questions put to ministries and open the published question-and-answer document. Starred questions seek oral answers; unstarred questions receive written answers. Registers can include clubbed references to a shared main question; those entries identify the member named on that record. These records describe parliamentary scrutiny, not a rating of the representative.
