About Pollie Tracker

Pollie Tracker monitors the public statements of Australian federal politicians and compares them against their stated policy positions. When a politician says something that contradicts their previous positions, we record it as a divergence.

We collect statements from Hansard, official social media, press releases, and news sources. Each statement is embedded using an AI model and compared against the politician's historical positions and declared policies. When the AI detects a significant contradiction, it creates a divergence with a plain-English explanation and severity rating.
