General Hansard Information
Hansard is the official report of the debates and proceedings of the Parliament.
Hansard is not a verbatim report of what is said but, rather, it is an accurate representation of speeches and statements devoid of redundancies, obvious grammatical errors, slips of the tongue and factual errors.
In South Australia, the Daily Hansard is available on the internet after 4pm of the day following the sitting.
