What Is This Feed?
Parliament On Demand offers live video and audio of New Zealand's House of Representatives, its single chamber, in Wellington. Parliament also has an official YouTube channel.
When Can I Watch?
The House usually sits on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in sitting weeks. Question Time usually starts at 2 pm Wellington time. Wellington is well ahead of Chicago, so that falls on the evening before here. Schedules change, so confirm on the official site.
Why This Feed Matters?
New Zealand was the first self-governing country to give women the vote, in 1893. Its Parliament also has seats reserved for Māori, which makes it a useful example for anyone studying how democracies widen who gets heard.
