Frequently asked questions

Why four quarters instead of one?

Aaron Violi’s four-quarter total of $887,423 (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 $200,575, against an average of $221,856 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. Aaron Violi’s total of $887,423 is $182,912 above the median of $704,511, which ranks 57th 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.” Aaron Violi’s largest category over the window was Office Administration ($314,538).

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 Aaron Violi this came to $3,182 over the window.
