Lobbying by omission
The absence as the story. Each entry is an entity active on one disclosed influence axis
(political donations, ministerial-diary meetings, government contracts, the lobbyist register)
but conspicuously absent on another where its sector peers appear. A property developer
with hundreds of donations and no ministerial meeting; a heavy donor never listed on the
lobbyist register.
How to read this
Every entry is a computed discrepancy over disclosed public
records, not evidence that any meeting, payment or lobbying took place or was withheld.
Disclosed data is a floor: an absence may simply mean the entity does not engage on
that axis, or that the relevant register does not yet cover it. The signal is a prompt to look,
nothing more. Gaps are computed against sector peer cohorts and sharpen as entity
resolution improves (an entity split across duplicate records can look absent until
its activity consolidates).
