Australian Parliament Fan

Australian Parliament Fan (@AusParlFan or APF) is a political YouTuber who uploads videos involving sessions, questions without notice (Question Time), and other speeches in the Australian federal and state parliaments. It has been confused with the official parliamentary channels, About the House and AuSenate which upload similar federal material. However APF differs in that they upload parliament speeches and processions from state and territory legislatures.
