About the ASPG

The Australasian Study of Parliament Group (ASPG) is a politically non-partisan body which was established in 1978 to encourage and stimulate research, writing, teaching and discussion about parliamentary institutions, particularly those in Australasia and the South Pacific. The ASPG has Chapters in all States and Territories of Australia and in New Zealand. Its membership consists of parliamentarians, parliamentary officers, academics, journalists, students and other interested individuals.

The Australasian Parliamentary Review (successor of Legislative Studies) is the ASPG's official journal and is published twice a year. The ASPG also holds an Annual Conference hosted by the Australasian parliaments on a rotational basis at which papers are delivered on parliamentary related themes. Selected papers from these conferences are published in the Group's journal. Individual ASPG Chapters run seminars during the year.
