About these figures

Source: the AEC Transparency Register. Candidates lodge an election return after each election they contest. Sitting members lodge annual returns for donations received between elections (published each February), and parties lodge their own annual returns.

A donor has to be named once their gifts total more than the disclosure threshold. The rest appear only in the total, shown here as “donors not named”. A nil return means the candidate declared no gifts. “No return found” means none was matched in the data loaded here (candidate returns from 2022 onwards), which isn't the same as $0.

Disclosed amounts may not represent all money received. A donation doesn't show that a donor influenced a vote or decision.
