Affiliations & Networks
Hook
Every politician belongs to something. Schools, churches, clubs, boards. This is the map.
Key Numbers
- Person-to-organisation links, sourced [Wikipedia + primary records]
- Shared memberships — where two or more subjects converge on the same organisation
- Coverage — the fraction of tracked subjects with at least one recorded affiliation
- Confidence tiers — confirmed, reported, claimed, alleged
Context
Australian political networks don't run through secret handshakes. They run through alumni dinners, parish picnics, club boards, think-tank fellowships, and industry body roundtables. These things are documented — they just sit in separate places, and nobody joins them up.
This dashboard joins them up. Every row has a source. Unfalsifiable conspiracy material is refused at ingest.
Takeaway
Networks are not secret. They are scattered. When you collect them and put them side by side, the pattern of who knows whom — and why — stops being anecdotal.

Every sourced affiliation between every tracked subject and every organisation they belong to, queryable and linkable.
