Who’s sitting?

Live streams

Start times are the chamber’s usual opening, in local time. Marked observed where our own captures confirm it, estimate otherwise. A house can start late, and estimates hearings run to their own timetable.

Live stream sources

Every endpoint below was verified against the running scrapers — from their logs, their stored source_url, or the container’s own configuration. watched means a scraper polls it today; gap means the stream exists but nothing is pointed at it.

Three of these are not producing. WA’s committee path is live right now and unwatched — its media sits on the same MediaMist host as the chambers, so only discovery is missing. Tasmania and the Northern Territory carry no caption track at all and have speech-to-text switched off, so they capture nothing regardless of source. South Australia boots with Transcription: DISABLED.

Jurisdictions without coverage never claim a status — they read unknown rather than guessing “not sitting”. NT is covered only to 30 June; after that it also reads unknown.
