About Us
The Australasian Study of Parliament Group (ASPG) 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.
Membership consists of parliamentarians, parliamentary officers, academics, teachers, journalists, students and other interested individuals.
The Australasian Parliamentary Review is the ASPG's official journal and is published twice a year. The National President of the ASPG is Colleen Lewis, Adjunct Professor with the National Centre for Australian Studies.
