A public-record influence graph for Australia
Six registers tell six stories. We join them into one.
Donations, lobbying registers, ministerial diaries, government contracts, registers of interests and the revolving door, entity-resolved into a single graph you can search. It is the only Australian tool that links these datasets to each other, so the path between a donor and a decision becomes something you can trace, not guess.
Last ingest 2026-07-02. Federal donations move to near-real-time disclosure on 1 January 2027.

The disclosure deadline that makes the rest legible.
From the start of 2027, federal political donations must be disclosed close to real time, not dribbled out in an annual return eighteen months late. That single change turns donations from history into a live feed.
A live feed is only useful if you can read it against everything else: who was lobbying, who was in the room, who won the contract. OpenInfluence is the layer that holds those records together, so when the money starts moving in the open, the context is already there.
One graph, six sources of record.
Each register is published on its own, in its own format, with its own names for the same people and firms. We resolve those identities and connect the records, so an organisation carries its donations, its lobbying, its meetings and its contracts on one page.

Every figure here comes from a public register. We resolve identities and join records; we do not infer intent, allege wrongdoing, or score anyone's politics. The influence index is a computed proxy from disclosed activity, nothing more.
