How we calculate this

These cards are generated automatically by matching reported financial disclosures (AEC) against parliamentary voting patterns (OpenAustralia). They identify statistical overlaps only — no causation, influence, or impropriety is implied or alleged. AI-assisted analysis may contain errors. All underlying data is sourced from public government records which may themselves contain inaccuracies. Full methodology and legal disclaimer →
