    A great site for those of you who are interested in what your local member of Parliament is up to. Could be useful if you are pushing an issue on behalf of your organisation, sector or the public good. Searches Hansard to find out what your representative is doing or search on a topic; this site makes Hansard accessible in a way that actually searching Hansard does not!

    Hi Merryn, It looks like the last letter of the url (web address) is missing on the link. Are you able to hop back into Diigo and fix it up? I'm think many people will find this site of great use especially as the implementation date of the Nat'l Curriculum creeps closer. Drop us an email when you've made the edit, thanks!

    Oops! Sorry about the typo in the url - should have been www.asiaeducation.edu.au

    Merryn, if you go to your My Library page, you should see this bookmark. Click edit and then you should be able to fix up the typo in the URL. Thanks!

    Hi Merryn, Not sure what's happening at your end, I can see your bookmark fine. In situations like yours, I try refresh then jump out of the site and browser then back in just to see if it clears things. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for sharing this one, Amanda! It would be a lot more appealing to students than some other methods of presentation!

    Thanks Amanda. I like the interactive nature of the site. It is very smooth and informative. I think Uni students would have the stamina to go through the options offered but I wonder about high school students' ability to stay with it.
