What’s included in these figures

The total for Michelle Landry is the sum of all expenses charged to Michelle Landry’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.

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?

Michelle Landry’s four-quarter total of $818,694 (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 $254,540, against an average of $204,673 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. Michelle Landry’s total of $818,694 is $114,183 above the median of $704,511, which ranks 73rd 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.” Michelle Landry’s largest category over the window was Office Administration ($321,926).

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 Michelle Landry this came to $15,082 over the window.
