Motivation[edit]

The Australian Senate has a comprehensive biographical database for members who completed their service in the Senate between 1901 and 2002. There is a similar property for current members of the Australian parliament however this does not include the same level of detail nor does it cover the extent of former members. Similar databases exist in the states. This ID property link to that register, which will be useful for referencing and establishing the completeness of Wikidata items for members of the Australian Senate in that period. -- Find bruce (talk) 07:07, 26 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
