Donation figures reflect the selected financial year; “All-time total” sums every year on record. “Avg. expenses / quarter” is each member's total expenses divided by their quarters on record, so it compares fairly regardless of how long someone has served, while the expense-quarter column shows a single quarter for direct comparison.

Donations received and donor counts are real figures from AEC disclosure returns. Salary (parliamentary base plus any office-holder loading) and work expenses (travel, staff and office) depend on the Remuneration Tribunal and IPEA and are marked “Data pending” until those sources are connected — no figures are estimated or fabricated.
