Template:Cite Au Parliament
Template documentationThis citation template produces formatted references to the Parliament of Australia's "Senators and Members" biographical database, which contains information on members of parliament, including former members.
Usage
Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn= have upper-case aliases like |ISBN=, which are acceptable for use). Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then the page.
