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.

Frequently asked questions

Why four quarters instead of one?

Kerrynne Liddle’s four-quarter total of $550,026 (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 $158,849, against an average of $137,506 a quarter across the window.

Why do some parliamentarians claim much more than others?

Is family and nominee travel included?
