Haven't looked but http://www.aph.gov.au/news_and_events/watch_parliament would probably be the place to look.

You probably know about, and have got whatever that 'plug in' is.  Not to worry.

I guess they don't want us to watch. Both Chrome and Chromium(Debian) won't play it with the plugin needed thing but opening it in Iceweasel(Debian Firefox) allowed me to open it in an external player.

edit: OK, try right clicking on the video image for the Senate and try open with. No idea how it will go for you, no Windows here. It's a Microsoft format video stream.

that's what I used, firefox .... but never heard of that debian thinggie

Yeah......roight.  You are speaking Martian.  This is me......dumb dumb on these www matters.  Oh well, I guess I'll find about it all tomorrow.

Heard something about this on abc radio today a senator said "bring a pillow'' from the gist I wouldnt expect anything until the wee hours

It's an .asx stream. I can't help you all at once. The best general thing I can say is have .asx files associated with your favourite video player.

Well, it's a Linux OS https://www.debian.org/. I won't tell you should run it, even though I have since 1996, but it's there to show a difference from what you use. To let you know it's not windows versions of the browsers.

I do know what I am doing. I just happen to be sitting at my PC, not yours. I could probably help if I knew what you were using. Default web browser, default video player, what your file associations were to those programs.

Can you do this.. Widows is pretty brain dead to real file types and will trust extensions, make a file on your desktop called JS.asx and then see what handles it. Report that and we may be able to to tell your browser to use a program to open the stream.

why am I doing this?

Apparently you want to watch the senate. I'm helping you achieve that. Me doing that shows I'm not watching. I'm willing to waste my time trying to help you waste your time. :-/

Edit: Optimist view... Ya learn something new every day.

It was a motor auction house at the foot of Taverners Hill on Parramatta Road, Leichhardt.  I think they closed down in the 1970s.

the news said nothing much happened....the most excitement Mr X wearing his jammies....

seems it was all waffle and more waffle we do know how those senators love their own voices...

we should be worried about how much this is costing us....and for what?
