Blocking known scam calls and texts
Neutral summary
Would require phone and internet companies to detect and block known scam calls and text messages before they reach you. Explains what the bill does — no opinion, no framing.
Three perspectives · clearly labelled AI opinion
Each panel is an AI-generated political perspective. It is not factual analysis and does not represent the position of Australia Speaks.
Your vote
Your vote is never linked to you.
By the time most of us hear about a bill, it has already been framed for us by whichever side reached us first. Australia Speaks starts one step earlier: with the bill itself, explained plainly, before anyone tells you what to think about it.
How it works
Three steps, the same for everyone.
No personalised feed. Everyone sees the same bills and the same three takes — the only thing that differs is how you vote.
Read the neutral summary
Every bill gets a plain-English summary written from the actual text of the bill — what it does, with no opinion and no framing. The primary sources are linked so you can check it yourself.
Read three perspectives
A left-leaning, an independent, and a right-leaning take — clearly labelled as AI-generated opinion, all written by the same model with the same word budget, so no side gets a louder voice.
Cast an anonymous vote
Vote Yes, No, or Impartial. There is no column anywhere in our database that links a person to a choice — your vote is anonymous by structure, not just by policy.
And when the bill is decided, you’ll know — and you can see whether Parliament landed where you did. Following politics shouldn’t stop at the argument; it should close the loop.
Reading the neutral summary and casting your vote are always free. The three perspectives are part of the planned subscription.
Why you can trust it
The neutrality isn’t a promise. It’s the machinery.
Anyone can say they’re balanced. We’d rather show you how it’s built and let you check.
Neutral by method, not by claim
A second, independent AI model checks every summary and perspective for balance and grounding, and a human editor approves all four before anything is published. We publish the full method so you can hold us to it.
Read the method →Anonymous by structure
Your vote carries no identity. Even a complete copy of our data could not reveal how you voted. Your own choice is stored only on your device.
Read the method →Independent, and funded that way
No advertising, no partisan sponsorship, and no money from political parties — ever. Australia Speaks is funded by optional subscriptions, so no one buys influence over the content.
Read the method →Bills & Talking Points
Not just what’s in Parliament — what’s in the news.
Alongside bills, Australia Speaks covers the political topics dominating the headlines — we call them Talking Points. A topic only appears when several outlets across the spectrum are covering it, and every explainer links the articles it’s based on.
You can follow the topics you care about and rate how the party leaders are going. There are no comments, no replies, no debates — and nothing that rewards you for voting more. The tally is only worth something if it’s honest.
- Bills before Parliament Explained from the bill text.
- Talking Points The news topics, from sources across the spectrum.
- Outcomes What Parliament decided, and when.
- Rate the leaders A simple up or down — one device, one voice, no leaderboards.
Built by two friends who vote differently
Australia Speaks is made by two people from opposite sides of politics who trust each other more than they trust the spin. Disagreeing well is the whole point — and the reason the neutrality is checked by a human who’d notice if it slipped.
Read our story →Free to read, vote, and see the tally
Reading bills, voting, and seeing the national tally will always be free. A planned subscription adds the three perspectives, a closer look at your part of the country, MP profiles and alerts — and keeps Australia Speaks independent, with no ads and no party money.
