Rash and crazy pollies' record (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hansard

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'record' is the definition.
(Hansard is an example)

'rash and crazy' is the wordplay.
'crazy' is an anagram indicator.
'rash'+'and'='rashand'
'rashand' is an anagram of 'HANSARD'.

'pollies'' is the link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hansard that I've seen before include "political account" , "Official report of the proceedings of the British Parliament" , "Official record of Parliament" , "political publication" , "Verbatim report of UK parliamentary proceedings" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
