Australian Public Expense Tracker is an independent project that makes publicly available Australian Government expenditure information easier to explore and understand.
APET turns official public datasets into clear charts and summaries. The project does not make judgments about whether particular expenditure is appropriate and does not advocate for or against any political party, parliamentarian, agency, recipient, supplier, or policy. Visitors are encouraged to examine the information and draw their own conclusions.
APET is not affiliated with the Australian Government or any of the agencies and services whose data it presents.
The project currently presents information from four official sources:
APET publishes its processing scripts and methodology so readers can inspect how official source data becomes the charts and summaries on this website.
