Hook
Politicians, bureaucrats, and their associates — the decision-makers whose public footprint runs through this data.
Key Numbers
- Register of Interests disclosures [parliamentary]
- Project and contract connections [BP4]
- Public statements logged [Hansard + media]
- Ego-network graph per subject [derived]
Context
"Subject" is deliberately neutral. It doesn't mean suspect. It means "a person whose public-record footprint intersects with Victorian infrastructure decision-making or delivery". MPs, ministers, senior public servants, board members, named associates — anyone whose public role puts them in the flow of decisions.
Each subject has a profile: their bio, their declared interests from the parliamentary register, their public statements on record, their connections to projects we track, and an ego-network graph of their public relationships. The right of reply applies — any subject can request factual corrections, and we make them.
Takeaway
Decisions about billions in public money are made by people. This is who those people are, based on what they have disclosed.

Controversy (from Wikipedia)
Peter Craig Dutton (born 18 November 1970) is an Australian former politician who served as the leader of the Opposition and the leader of the Liberal Party from 2022 to 2025. He was the member of parliament (MP) for the Queensland division of Dickson from 2001 to 2025. Dutton previously held various ministerial positions in the Howard, Abbott, Turnbull, and Morrison governments.
Dutton grew up in Brisbane. He worked as a police officer in the Queensland Police for nearly a decade upon leaving school, and later ran a construction business with his father. He joined the Liberal Party as a teenager and was elected to the House of Representatives at the 2001 election, aged 30. Following the 2004 election, he was appointed as Minister for Employment Participation. In January 2006, Dutton was promoted to Assistant Treasurer under Peter Costello. After the defeat of the Liberal-National Coalition at the 2007 election, he was appointed to the Shadow Cabinet as Shadow Minister for Health, a role he held for the next six years.
Upon the victory of the Coalition at the 2013 election, Dutton was appointed Minister for Health and Minister for Sport. He was moved to the role of Minister for Immigration and Border Protection in December 2014, where he played a key role in overseeing Operation Sovereign Borders. He was kept in that position after Malcolm Turnbull replaced Tony Abbott as prime minister in September 2015. In December 2017, he was also given the new role of Minister for Home A

Notes
Leader of the Opposition since May 2022. Former Minister for Home Affairs and Defence. Appointed Paterson as Shadow Minister for Home Affairs — one of the most senior shadow portfolios. Paterson is seen as a Dutton loyalist and potential future leader of the party's right faction.
