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.
