Register of Member's Interests Transcriber

In the Register of Interests, Representatives and Senators declare information of financial interests, stocks and shares held, gifts received over a certain value, and memberships of Clubs and Associations.

While we now have the register online, the current format isn't searchable or comparable. This lab provides a tool to transcribe the results from the hand written forms into a searchable digital format. Why not help out with the transcription, it's really easy!

Words in Parliament is an experiment created by Stephen Bartlett at our Melbourne hackfest. It displays the most commonly used words in the most recent house debate.

The code for this experiment is available on Github.
