What these numbers don’t measure

Committee work

Parliament publishes no committee attendance for either House, so nobody can count it — us included.

Constituency work

Funerals, harambees, schools, casework. Recorded nowhere we can read.

Whether it worked

We can count questions asked, not answers given.

Speaking often isn’t speaking well. Use these to ask Independent better questions — not to grade them.

Business is attributed through the member who moved, asked, presented or laid it, over the current parliamentary term. Items whose actor could not be identified from the official record belong to no party, so party totals add up to less than the House totals on Track Legislative Trends. Party is as recorded for the 13th Parliament; mid-term changes of party are not modelled.
