A clearer way into
Parliament.

Ellen is for the moment when a parliamentary term, document or process stands between you and understanding the news.

What this site covers

Our focus is Australian federal Parliament, law-making and the reading of primary records. We write for people who do not work in politics and want an explanation they can follow.

What the name means here

Ellen is the name of this editorial website. It is not a claim to represent a public figure, a political party, Parliament or any government agency.

Read, check, decide

We explain processes and identify sources. We do not endorse candidates, tell you how to vote or provide advice about your personal legal or migration situation.
