Dear Department of Parliamentary Services,

I am writing to ask whether it would be possible to obtain a copy of the Hansard Style Guide used by the Department of Parliamentary Services, or any equivalent document that governs the preparation and formatting of Hansard transcripts.

I understand from references in the Australian Government Style Manual, including here:
https://www.stylemanual.gov.au/grammar-p...
that specific Hansard conventions and internal guidance exist, and I would be very interested in reviewing this material.

If the document is publicly available, I would be grateful if you could provide a copy or direct me to where it may be accessed. If it is not publicly available, please let me know whether it can be released informally, or whether a formal Freedom of Information request would be required.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Yours faithfully,
Rohan McMaster
