Submissions and advice to Parliament - Submissions and advice that have been released to the public by select committees.

  • Submissions can be written by anyone, and help the committee understand what the public think about a particular issue. They are usually released as soon as the committee has had a chance to read them.
  • Advice is written by the committees’ official advisers. Advisers are appointed for each issue a committee considers, and generally come from government organisations.

Official Sources
