These figures are a disclosed floor, not the full picture. They are the federal AEC annual returns above the disclosure threshold. Not captured here: sub-threshold gifts under the reporting cap, undisclosed in-kind support, current staffer arrangements, party panels and boards, and money routed through associated entities we have not yet linked.
104 administrative / public-funding bodies (the AEC, departments and electoral commissions, carrying $0 of public-funding disbursements) are detached from the donor ranks below and labelled where they appear. They re-distribute public money, they are not third-party donors.
A further $3,688,692,609 across 42,876 AEC "other receipts" (commercial payments, settlements, investment income, subscriptions) is excluded from these totals. The AEC records those against parties and entities alongside gifts, but they are not political donations.
Inside the catch-all
resolution ledgerThe old single "Other / associated" bucket held $152,445,151. Party-aligned fundraising and holding vehicles are now attributed to their party, third parties are split by type, and money moving inside one organisation family is netted out. What is left genuinely unknown is $101,211,575, a 34% cut.
