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.
