Calendar Help

This site uses monthly "sitting day" calendars to:

  • visually convey the days on which Parliament sits, and
  • provide single-click access to the Hansard and House Paper records for those days.

The calendars appear on the right hand column on the homepage, the Legislative Council welcome page and the Legislative Assembly welcome page.

Links within the Calendar

Sitting days within the calendar are represented as links. The links open a page containing details of all available Hansard and House Paper documents relevant to that sitting day.

If the current day is a sitting day, that day's page also contains a link to the live webcast of proceedings in the Chamber.

Accessibility

The calendars are rendered in tables, with one table per month. The heading immediately preceding the table states which month the calendar covers. The cells in the table represent all the days in the month, one row per week, regardless of whether they are sitting days or not. For screen readers, hidden text codes have been used to identify sitting days within the calendar (see below).

Significance of Coloured Cells

Sitting days are identified both visually using a coloured cell background, and also for screen readers with hidden text codes which follow the day number. The colour and hidden text codes for sitting days are as follows:

C    ...Legislative Council sitting day (red cell background, hidden text code C)
A    ...Legislative Assembly sitting day (green cell background, hidden text code A)
B    ...Sitting day for both Houses (blue cell background, text code B)
