Move through structure quickly
Jump between parts, divisions, sections and schedules with no clicking and less scrolling, so you can stay focused on the law rather than the page around it.
A newer, faster way to browse legislation.
Legislation Terminal is designed for people who work with legislation and want a quicker way to move through an act, regulation or other instrument. It helps you open what you need, move through the structure, compare versions and search within the text without wading through slow, crowded pages.
See change over time
Check version history and compare earlier text more directly, which makes it easier to see what changed and where the change matters.
Work with the text, not around it
The experience is stripped back on purpose. It's meant to help lawyers, policy teams, researchers and others get to the relevant provisions faster.
Built from command line tools
This approach grows out of the command line interface (CLI), which is a way of using short typed instructions instead of moving through lots of buttons and menus. A terminal is simply the text window where those instructions are entered and the results appear. That does mean there is a learning curve: you need to learn the main commands before it feels natural. But once you know them, moving through legislation is much faster. It's especially well suited to regular users who want a more direct, power-user way to work.
