popular current petition is on the topic of daylight savings. The link for this section is also to be found on the right hand side of the home page or in the legis la tive assembly section. Legis la tive assem bly Did you know that by 1878, the Queensland Parlia ment was the first in the world to have a daily official report of the debates without any form of govern ment censor ship? The official report of the debates and proceed ings of Parlia - ment and its commit tees is called Hansard. Queensland’s Hansard is published daily when parlia ment is sitting and is avail able on the Internet. So what else is in this section? Well, you can find listings of all members and their contact details, copies of speeches they have made, links to legis la tion from Bill form through to enacted legis la tion. You can even access the Parlia men tary Proce dures Handbooks and the code of ethical standards. Histor i cal infor ma tion The Histor i cal section of the website contains electronic databases of old Hansards back to 1990 and questions on notice back to 1995. It also contains the impor tant history of the Queensland Parlia ment House, Parlia ments officer holders and members since 1860 and all of our past gover - nors. You will also find infor ma tion on past elections and refer en dums even includ ing the dates they were held right back to the first general election in April and May of 1860. web weaving Students and young people Wonder ing who's who in parlia ment? Where do the members of parlia ment sit? This section of the website has a photo guide and seating plan in the ‘Infor ma tion on Parlia ment’ page. In this section you will also find three excel lent books, Written in three levels, junior, second ary and tertiary, these books explain the levels, roles and processes of parlia ment. At 44 pages is very detailed and clear. There are also the many fact sheets on parlia ment again written for the three levels. These include fact sheets on the ‘role of the premier’, ‘role of an MP’, ‘making a law’, ‘ques tion time and many more. This and the histor i cal section are great for a school age student doing a project on parliament. For educa tors In the schools section teach ers can find a highly useful resource called ‘class room activ i ties’. Designed to compli - ment school sylla bus this resource gives an outstand ing array of work sheets, role-play activ i ties, fact sheets and flow charts to brighten up any class room activ ity when teach ing your students about the roles and processes of parlia ment. Again they have put careful thought and prepa ra tion into each section with activ i ties suitable for specific and all age groups. All of these resources are made avail able in PDF so access is quick and easy. Don’t forget the excel lent schools tour page found under the schools section. This page gives avail able tours and dates as well as the oppor tu nity to book you student tours online. You can even check date and time avail abil ity. The educa tion section For any Queens lander wanting to learn about the origins or Queensland’s parlia ment, it’s consti tu tion, it’s electoral system and it’s general systems and opera tions this section is an excel lent section to start with. Once you have gone through this sections you will have a better under - stand ing of the Queensland Parlia ment website, making it even easier to recog nize where infor ma tion will be located. Publi ca tions The documents in this section can all be found in the individ ual sections such as the above legis la tive assem bly section or the Educa tional section. I have to admit that the research briefs in this section are some of my favour ite Vol. 2 2006 The Verdict 59
web weaving publi ca tions on this website. Nothing beats them for a clearer under stand ing of a subject matter they cover in each. There are currently briefs on the Murri Court system, major ity jury verdicts in crimi nal trials and indus trial manslaugh ter and many more. Like most things on this website they are set out in order by year of publi ca tion. As is the Hansard collec tion. If you are a student research ing a legal topic it is well worth you while looking at what has been produced both current and histor i cal and placed in this section. Sitemap & search ing Unfor tu nately the site doesn’t have an overall search engine, although it does have separate search engines for the table office collec tions and another for the Hansard collec tions. Each search engine is very easy to use with three easy steps. Results are also very easy to sort through. The only other search able database I could find was the Members’ speeches. Again sorted into years and using the three easy step search system. It is a pity that these databases can’t be searched all at once but having said each is very easy to use. The sitemap is a good one. Laid out as a clear contents page, it takes you through section by section as they appear in the drop down menus across the top of each page. Although I doubt you will need to use this contents page because you’ve lost your way on the website, it is a Court Four-year-old on jury duty 60 The Verdict Vol. 2 2006 news good contents indica tor for those who prefer to jump directly to what there after instead of surfer through a website. Useful links Well worth a quick mention. If you are having trouble finding parlia ments around the world and in Austra lia this page has the links you need. It also has links for infor ma - tion on elections, govern ments and politics, new media sites, legis la tion sites and other vital library sites. Not a long list but a good one. Overall opinion I have to say this is a very easy site to use. With colour coded sections and the ever-present left hand naviga tion and drop down menus it is very hard to get lost. There are always multi ple paths to the same infor ma tion allow ing for differ ent types of web users from the novice all the way through to the pro. One final thing...every document on this site is in PDF so all documents look smart and are easily accessed. Don’t forget if you’re having trouble opening a PDF it may be because you’re using a differ ent version of Adobe. It’s an easily solved problem. Right click on the link and chose ‘save target as’. Save the document to your desktop and then open it from there. It will use your version of Adobe instead.
