QldMLA is an abbreviation for Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly (and also includes the Member of the Queensland Legislative Council, now disbanded).

Usage

This template creates a {{cite web}} citation to the Queensland Parliament's list of members, which provides their name, their dates of service and electorate as a member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly. For members of the Queensland Legislative Council dates of terms of service are included. Additional information such as political party, service as premier, minister/secretary, etc. is also noted. The document is ordered alphabetically by surname.

The advantage of using this template is that Queensland Government URL's are not stable when websites are revamped. Thus, only this template needs to be update and not individual references.
