Citation Discipline
- Always cite by primary record (Hansard date + speaker, OAG report §, OIC number, court citation, lobbying registration ID, ATIP file number).
- Quote verbatim; bracket any insertions; preserve redactions as published.
- Distinguish findings (made by an oversight body) from allegations (made by a party). Do not collapse the two.
- Where a record is contested or under appeal, say so on the line.
