Parliamentary Document

Identifies substantive Australian question-time briefs, Senate Estimates briefs, parliamentary question responses, and parliamentary correspondence briefs. Topic phrases are retained for discovery; enforcement requires likely-question, response, talking-point, media-line, key-fact, supplementary-question, answer, portfolio, or hearing content, and high confidence also requires draft, embargo, clearance, question-number, or other pre-release handling evidence.

Should match

• question time brief — Low-tier probe - parliamentary brief topic without response content
• Question time brief: likely question, suggested response, talking points, media lines, key facts, anticipated supplementary question, and portfolio issue — Medium-tier probe - substantive response content without pre-release handling
• Question time brief QTB-204: likely question, proposed answer, talking points, media lines, key facts, not for release, and clearance required — High-tier probe - substantive response with formal brief and pre-release handling

Should not match

• The parliamentary cafe serves lunch daily — Non-match 1
• A tour of Parliament House — Tourism context
• The public guide explains the purpose of question time briefs. — Public process guidance without a live response brief
• Training example: question time brief QTB-204 with likely question, proposed answer, and not for release — Explicit training content must not enforce

Known false positives

• Public parliamentary guidance, published transcripts, and media commentary discuss questions, answers, talking points, and estimates without containing a pre-release response brief. Mitigation: Keep parliamentary brief topics discovery-only and require likely-question, response, talking-point, media-line, key-fact, supplementary, answer, portfolio, or hearing content.
• Training briefs can contain realistic question numbers, draft answers, media lines, embargoes, and clearance instructions. Mitigation: Reject explicit template, demo, tutorial, sample-data, and training-example framing from enforcing tiers.
