Chamber audio guides

Listen to historic moments from the chambers.

Hear the House of the Representatives Chamber come alive with the announcement of the end of the Second World War, the controversial dismissal of the Whitlam government, a reflection on women in parliament and a final vote of thanks to those who worked tirelessly for the parliament.

Hear the first radio broadcast, a regal opening of parliament, a maiden speech with a youthful agenda and a rowdy final sitting from the Senate Chamber.
