How this was built, and what it does not say

This site republishes what members of the Victorian Parliament declared in their Register of Interests ordinary returns for 1 February 2026 to 30 June 2026, tabled on 26 August 2026. Every figure links to the page of the tabled document it came from, so anything here can be checked against the original.

These are declarations, not valuations. The form asks where land is, not what it is worth, and shareholdings are recorded only as one of three value bands whose dollar thresholds the register does not publish. Nothing on this site measures wealth.

How the returns were read

Returns are published as chamber volumes of several hundred pages. For each of the 128 current members the pipeline finds their return, then reads the form parts it covers: income and company interests, land, offices, debts and trusts (parts 1–7), memberships and other interests (parts 10–13), and gifts and travel (parts 14–15).

Every value is read by one language model (GLM 5.3 Flash), using the same copying rules for every member, and is then checked against the text embedded in the parliamentary PDF. The check never rewrites a value: it decides whether a value is confirmed or flagged.

A second check confirms that every printed line on each page ends up in some row, so nothing is silently dropped. Lines that belong to parts outside a pass were traced to their form part rather than assumed. The leading entries in each ranking, and a random sample of members, were also compared by eye against the page images.

Blind trusts and estates

Parts 8 and 9 are published: ten blind trusts declared by nine members, and eight estates. Where a blind trust is managed by a firm the firm is named; where it is managed by a private individual, that person is not named, and no manager's address is published on this site — a street address adds nothing once you know whether the manager is a firm or an individual. Deceased people named in an estate are described by their relationship, as elsewhere.

Counting rules

Privacy

Members of Parliament are named, as they are in the public register. Other people named in their returns — partners, relatives, private payers — are not: their names are replaced by the role already stated in the return ("my partner is a Managing Partner of FMRS Advisory"). Employers, companies, funds and other organisations are kept, because that is the public-interest part of the declaration. Where a declaration identifies someone by a public office rather than a name, the text stays as printed.
