What we publish
APIA publishes datasets, not opinion. Each project sets out its sources and its method, and the underlying data is available to anyone who wants to check it or use it.
This page lists what APIA publishes — not every dataset within it. A single project may carry many datasets; those are listed on the project’s own site.
Too Hard Basket Launching Q4 2026
When a parliamentary committee reports, government is expected to respond. Often it does. Sometimes it responds late. Sometimes it never responds at all, and nothing marks the fact.
Too Hard Basket is a public record of what happens after the report: which recommendations were accepted, which were rejected, which were left unanswered, and how long each took.

What comes next
Too Hard Basket begins with one record — Senate committee reports awaiting a government response — and will extend to House of Representatives committees, to the state and territory parliaments, and to related records of the same kind: questions taken on notice, orders for the production of documents, statutory reviews that fall due and are not done, recommendations from royal commissions and the Auditor-General, and statutory deadlines that pass unmet.
APIA’s job is to publish these and to keep publishing them. We would rather add one dataset a quarter and still be here in ten years than announce twenty and maintain none.
