About

Polscape is a front page for Australian politics: the day's headlines from across the country's newsrooms, plus a directory of the parties, parliaments, watchdogs, pollsters and publications that make up the political landscape.

How headlines are chosen

Headlines are gathered automatically every four hours from the RSS feeds of Australian and international news outlets, and from Google News for outlets that don't publish a feed. The newest stories are sorted into Federal, States & Territories, Policy, Opinion and International, with duplicates of the same story removed.

Every headline links straight to the original publisher. Polscape doesn't rewrite, summarise or host anyone else's reporting.

Sources span public broadcasters, the major mastheads and independent outlets, including the ABC, SBS, Guardian Australia, Nine's mastheads, News Corp titles, News24 (formerly Sky News), the AFR, Crikey and The Conversation.

The directory

The directory lists official sites, reference material and organisations across 27 categories, from party websites and lobbyist registers to integrity bodies and pollsters. Links are checked regularly.
