House Procedure

This chatbot can answer questions about the Standing Orders, House of Representatives Practice, and Procedural Digests (2008 onwards) available on this site.

By default it searches only the Standing Orders. You can adjust the sources below the input box — limiting to a single source will generally produce the quickest and most accurate responses.

Please note: This chatbot is experimental and intended as a research aid only. Parliamentary procedure requires interpreting formal rules alongside established practice and the current parliamentary environment, and GenAI is not currently very good at these judgements and nuances. Always verify answers against the source documents and consult the Clerk's Office (or other senior DHR staff members) for definitive advice.

The chatbot may occasionally misinterpret questions, return incomplete results, or produce plausible-sounding but incorrect information, and has no knowledge of events or rulings beyond the source material indexed on this site.
