Network Graph
An interactive map of Victoria's infrastructure accountability network.
What it shows
A force-directed graph with four kinds of node:
- Contractors — companies delivering projects.
- Projects — major infrastructure works.
- Donations — political contributions (sized by dollar value).
- Subjects — politicians, bureaucrats, and their associates.
Edges connect nodes that share a public record — a contract, a donation, a directorship.
How to read it
- Click a node to see its details in the sidebar: all projects, all donations, all cross-references.
- Drag nodes to reposition. The layout stabilises automatically.
- Zoom with scroll wheel or pinch.
- High-degree nodes (many edges) are network hubs — worth investigating first.
- Isolated clusters are worth investigating too; they often indicate a single political economy around a single project.
Data sources
The graph is assembled from: - BP4 contractor-project relationships - AEC donation records - ASIC director data (for mates-detector links) - Public registers (parliamentary interests, board memberships)
Caveats
- No edge ≠ no relationship. It means no public record.
- Name resolution is probabilistic; candidate matches are excluded.
- The graph is a relationship map, not an allegation engine.
