Parliaments and MPs

As citizens we have a duty to communicate with our parliamentarians and let them know our views. Their role is to represent us. The article Why Does Democracy Fail has an excellent explanation from Compton’s encyclopedia about our responsibility in this area.

Federal
The Federal button has links for the Federal parliament and information about Members of the House of Representatives and the Senate.

State
The State buttons have links to all State and Territory parliaments and details on contacting your parliamentarians.

Who are my MPs?
People often ask us how they can find out what electorate they are in...

Just follow these steps to find out your federal and state electorates:

The Australian Electoral Commission has a special website that enables you to verify your enrolment details. Click here.

Type in your name and address. Click “Verify Enrolment” and your federal and state electorate details will be shown as well as your local government details.
Then print it out for future reference!

By phone:
You can phone the AEC on 13 2326 and ask for the details. Just have a pen and paper ready to write them down.

Alternatively many of the state and federal parliament websites now have interactive pages that enable you to find out who your MPs are as well as your electorates...
