The registry, counted
What Parliament works on.Counted by subject.
Parliament publishes its measures one at a time and never in aggregate, so what the chamber actually spends its time on is a question nobody can answer from its own site. These are the registry's own subject tags, tallied — 458 bills and 94 autonomy acts read in full, each counted under every subject it touches.

Health — more bills than any other area.
What gets filed,and what gets passed.
Health is the largest single subject in the bills read so far — 98 of the 650 tags applied across 458 bills — ahead of education and of social welfare. Among the acts already in force the order is different: governance and the budget lead. A measure carries every subject it touches, so each column adds to more than the number of measures in it.

How to read this
These are counts of what has been read
Subjects come from the registry’s own tags on each measure, which are read from the filed copy and the committee record rather than assigned by hand here. A measure with no tag — one indexed but not yet read — is in no column at all, which is why these counts are smaller than the totals on the front page.
Two rankings, not a before and after
The two columns are separate counts rather than two halves of one. The acts were tagged under an earlier vintage of the same vocabulary and never re-tagged, so a subject can appear on one side as “Infrastructure” and on the other as “Infrastructure & Transport”.
