Before any bill becomes law, there are three main votes it must pass: these are the first, second and third readings. For most bills, there is a chance for members of the public to make submissions at the select committee stage, which happens between the first and second readings.
After a bill passes its third reading vote, it is granted Royal Assent by the Governor-General and becomes law, subject to any commencement provisions contained within the bill.
WhereTheyStand contains all bills from the 51st Parliament and later (2014—present). These are imported from Parliament's own website on a regular basis and are automatically linked with voting records and MPs' profiles to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for.
