What’s included in these figures

The total for Anne Aly is the sum of all expenses charged to Anne Aly’s parliamentary office and reported by the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority (IPEA) over the 2025–26 financial year: travel, office facilities and administration, vehicles, communications and other categories.

Method and data source

Quarterly claims are taken from IPEA’s open data on data.gov.au (Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia), current to the IPEA release of 2 Sep 2026. Totals cover the four most recent reported quarters; the median and rank are calculated across all sitting parliamentarians with claims in the same window. Earlier category names are matched to current ones.

Frequently asked questions

Why four quarters instead of one?

Anne Aly’s four-quarter total of $1,526,694 (1 Jul 2025 – 30 Jun 2026) smooths out one-off quarters such as an election period or an overseas trip. The latest single quarter (Apr–Jun 2026) was $407,506, against an average of $381,674 a quarter across the window.

What is the median and how is it calculated?

The median is the middle four-quarter total when all 224 sitting parliamentarians are ranked: half claimed less than $647,706 and half more. Anne Aly’s total of $1,526,694 is $878,988 above the median of $647,706, which ranks 13th of 224.

Why do some parliamentarians claim much more than others?

IPEA says: “When comparing expenditure between parliamentarians, it is important to take into account the parliamentarian’s role, the size of their electorate, and their electorate’s distance from the closest capital city and Canberra.” Anne Aly’s largest category over the window was Employee Travel ($650,537).

Is family and nominee travel included?

Yes. Claims for travel by family members or nominees are attributed to the parliamentarian who made them and counted in their total, as in IPEA’s own totals. For Anne Aly this came to $2,159 over the window.
