A simple list of who is a MP right now. Name, Party, electorate. In a machine readable format - not pdf or html. XML, json, or csv.
Any one working on analysis and records of parliament has to import data manually, and maintain it themselves on every change.
There is a RSS feed, but it only shows the first 20 alphabetically.

allowing automation of data analysis, for all parliament data involving MPs.
Investigating options
Just an update to our previous response of the 25th (and having subsequently found the additional information supplied by the enquirer under the hyperlinked title reference) : Parliament Website developers are looking at the work required to enable the MP RSS feed limit to be extended beyond the current default maximum of 20 applying to RSS feeds across the site. Anticipated implementation at this stage is late August.
