Watch Australia's Parliament Live: House, Senate and Question Time
This player shows the Australian Parliament House Streaming Portal YouTube channel when it is live. If nothing is streaming, it may say the video is unavailable, so use the official link below.
What Is This Feed?
The Parliament of Australia streams its House of Representatives, with 150 members, and its Senate, with 76 senators, from Canberra. The ParlView portal also keeps a video archive.
When Can I Watch?
Parliament sits in blocks of sitting weeks through the year, usually with breaks over the summer and in winter. Question Time typically takes place at 2 pm Canberra time on sitting days, which is late evening or night in the United States. Schedules change, so confirm on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
Australia requires its citizens to vote, so nearly everyone takes part in choosing Parliament. Question Time shows those voters how the leaders they chose handle hard questions from the other side.
