Superannuation

We don't yet have a confirmed parliamentary entry year for this member, so we can't determine which superannuation scheme applies.

Background: The Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Scheme (PCSS) — a defined-benefit pension of up to 75% of salary — closed to new members in 2004. Members elected before 2004 remain on PCSS. Those elected from 2004 onward receive 15.4% employer contributions under PSSAP, in line with other public servants.

Thematic Correlation Overlaps

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 →
