There are some tools -

* Parliament has RSS feeds <http://www.aph.gov.au/rss.htm>

* The Government Media Release Service does a daily listing of new  
media releases from all portfolios  as a web page <http:// 
media.australia.gov.au/releases-by-portfolio.html>

* Also as RSS feeds with a full listing from all portfolios, and for  
specific listings from individual portfolios. <http:// 
www.australia.gov.au/media-rss>

* Also email notifications which can be based on a key word search  
<http://media.australia.gov.au/notify.cgi?collection=releases>

Then there are the parties -

* Greens <http://www.greens.org.au/mediacentre/syndication/>

* ALP <http://www.alp.org.au/media/rss.php>

* The Liberal party <http://www.liberal.org.au/> and the National  
Party <http://www.nationals.org.au/> don't seem to have any.
