OzPolitics Review Desk

Editorial and review method

Every review starts with the same six questions: mechanism, authority, cost, delivery, evidence and uncertainty.

Mechanism and authority

We identify what must happen for a proposal to work and which law, office or level of government can make it happen. Political influence is not described as unilateral legal power.

Cost and delivery

We inspect the baseline, timeframe, funding source, administering body, dependencies and implementation evidence. An announcement and an implemented program are different states.

Evidence and uncertainty

Direct evidence, inference and unresolved questions are labelled separately. Missing evidence limits a conclusion; it does not give us permission to invent certainty.

Corrections and review

Each foundational guide shows a reviewed date. Material changes to law, election guidance, boundaries, budgets or source data trigger a review queue.

Ask OzPolitics

Before you ask

I am an independent information assistant—not a government, Parliament, electoral commission, party or candidate. I cannot tell you how to vote or provide legal, financial or medical advice. Information changes, so open the official sources in each answer. Do not enter your name, address, electorate, voting intention or other sensitive information. (Feel free to talk to me in your preferred language.)

OzPolitics AI

Ask about enrolment, voting, bills, debates or published party positions. I will look for reviewed OzPolitics material and primary sources, without recommending a party or predicting an election.
