How parliamentary pay is set

Registrable interests

the whole register

As declared on the Register of Members’ Interests, in Luke’s own words. The register records what an interest is, not what it is worth.

This statement is published as a scan, so it was read by hand rather than by machine on 12 August 2026. The statement is a scan with no text layer at all, so nothing can be read from it by machine. Every value below is transcribed from the page; check it against the original if it matters to you.

  • The statement is lodged on the 47th Parliament form. It still names the 21 May 2022 election and the 11 April 2022 dissolution, and the signature block has 22/08/2022 struck out with 19/08/2025 written in by hand and initialled.
  • Section 12 has three entries struck through on the paper — "Supercars VIP", "Brewers Association Lunch" and "Excellence in Building and Construction Awards" — and one added in handwriting. Only the handwritten entry is published as a declaration; a struck-out line is not something the member declares.
  • The statement's PROCESSED stamp is over-inked and stays unreadable at 400 dpi with the colour channels separated, so the date it was processed is not reported.

How to read this

  • They Vote For You groups related divisions into plain-language "policies" and scores how often each member voted with that position. Those groupings are editorial judgements made by the OpenAustralia Foundation, not official parliamentary categories.
  • An agreement score in the middle of the range means the member voted on both sides of that policy over time. That is normal: policies aggregate dozens of divisions across many years, including procedural motions and narrow amendments. We deliberately publish no "flip-flop" score, because when we measured it, almost every member qualified — it reflects how the scoring works, not anyone's conduct.
  • Attendance excludes periods before a member was elected, but members may be absent for legitimate reasons including illness, parental leave, or official duties. A low rate is not by itself evidence of anything.
  • Only members currently serving are included. A vote is recorded against the person, not the seat.
  • Work expenses cover offices, staff, travel and communications. Claims are certified by the parliamentarian and administered by IPEA.
  • Totals are not directly comparable between members. Electorate size drives travel costs, and ministers travel more than backbenchers. Members are therefore compared against the median for their own state or territory.
  • Former parliamentarians — including former prime ministers, who retain certain entitlements — are reported separately and excluded from member comparisons.
  • IPEA publishes quarterly and later issues adjustments for administrative errors. Figures for recent quarters may change slightly.
