Other court or tribunal decisions are on our website, and available through searching, or you can keep an eye on them using What's New Topics and their associated Digest e-mails. Quite often court decisions cause policy changes, so subscribers need to be aware of them.
The collections of most kinds of Commonwealth material date back to January 1990, with full-text indexed, downloadable material available from the Capital Monitor website from the start of the Howard Government in March 1996.
The States and Territories
The Capital Monitor service provides you with a series of collections covering each of the States and the Territories (ACT & NT). In some instances, State policy developments interact with Commonwealth policy matters. On the other hand some subscribers need to follow closely State issues in particular States.
You can use automated facilities like What's New Topics or Digests to monitor any of the States for any subject matter, or mentions of any specific issue, company or person. This will ensure that you are kept alert to anything that happens in those States.
The services covering each of the States and Territories vary slightly and are being developed continuously. Some have been in existence for many years, and have more historical material in their collections. This can be established by a quick search, displaying results in ascending date order (remembering to tick all the archive years), however the following information is provided as a guide:
