This Gadget shows the times a word or phrase (or name, or...) was mentioned in Parliament. Curently the most recent 100 results are retrieved - simply it's a balance between results and the time taken to load.

Thicker joining lines indicate more mentions. Click on a name to see details of what was said and link to full transcripts.

If things get tangled up drag a node to spread them out - try it, it'll become obvious. Sometimes things get a little weird on touch-devices like the ipad - we're aware of it and trying to tidy up.

The information comes from Hansard via the excellent API provided by Open Australia / They Vote For You. Our sincere thanks to the wonderful people who do this cool work.
