Commonwealth Hansard online is a Current Series of Parliamentary Debates (Hansard) - Australia (Commonwealth)

Parliamentary debates of the Australian Senate and House of Representatives were issued in combined volumes from 1901 until March 1953. From September 1953 the debates were split, and were issued as the House of Representatives Hansard (bound in green from 1962) and the Senate Hansard (bound in red from 1962).

Indexes are at the back of the bound volumes. There are separate Indexes to speeches and Indexes to Subjects. The latter uses broad subject categories such as Bills, Committees, and Questions on Notice.

Since the commencement of the 44th Parliament (12 November 2013) Parliamentary Debates (Hansard) are available online only.
