What the software holds for its founding chamber, Aotearoa New Zealand: the Crown as the register draws it, the six lenses that read every branch, and every kind of holding, counted from the file that holds it. The findings themselves open on Signals Not Silence.

The six lenses, on every branch

A minister is Executive plus people. A Vote is Executive plus money.

Under each branch sit the same six lenses, which is what makes the record readable: the people, the money, the law, the inquiries, the watchdogs, the maps. Each count is read from the holding that carries it.

  • The people · 28 ministers, 6 parties

    Their words first, verbatim and dated, the record beneath, a grade on every line.

    Open →
  • The money · 127 Votes, 509 donations

54 kinds. 985,573 items.
