How these figures differ from IPEA’s

IPEA reports claims quarter by quarter. Political Gadgets adds up the latest four reported quarters to smooth one-off spikes (an election period, an overseas trip), then compares each parliamentarian with the median of all 226 and, for House members, with similar groups. The underlying data is IPEA’s; IPEA is the authoritative source. See IPEA’s Background on Expenditure Reporting.

What’s included in these figures

The total for Nita Green is the sum of all expenses charged to Nita Green’s parliamentary office and reported by the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority (IPEA) over the latest four reported quarters (1 Oct 2025 – 30 Sep 2026): travel, office facilities and administration, vehicles, communications and other categories.

Family and nominee travel is included, as in IPEA’s own headline total for a parliamentarian: those claims are attributed to the parliamentarian who made them and shown as their own category, “Family or Nominee Travel”.

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 11 Nov 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?

Nita Green’s four-quarter total of $914,765 (1 Oct 2025 – 30 Sep 2026) smooths out one-off quarters such as an election period or an overseas trip. The latest single quarter (Jul–Sep 2026) was $234,739, against an average of $228,691 a quarter across the window.

What is the median and how is it calculated?

The median is the middle four-quarter total when all 226 sitting parliamentarians are ranked: half claimed less than $704,511 and half more. Nita Green’s total of $914,765 is $210,254 above the median of $704,511, which ranks 47th of 226.

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.” Nita Green’s largest category over the window was Employee Travel ($359,685).

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 Nita Green this came to $10,737 over the window.
