Every contract, every register, every advice — published in full, at all three levels of government.
One of the six doors of The People’s Portal — the DAA’s key policy. One site, one login: everything your government knows, spends and decides, across local, state and federal.
Every contract, in full, within 30 days of signing — council, state and federal, at every value. Not the summary line: the document — price, schedule of rates, variations, milestones, performance clauses and termination terms. Small purchases publish as transaction feeds, so even the spending below contract size is visible. Commercial-in-confidence is narrowed to genuine trade secrets and national security only: a price is not a trade secret, and a company that does not want its price public does not have to bid for public money.
Revised 21 Aug 2026: the previous $10,000 publication threshold is removed — every contract publishes regardless of value.
The registers. Lobbying contacts published within 48 hours. Ministerial diaries weekly. Political donations published immediately, not eighteen months later. Grants and subsidies, searchable by recipient. Media ownership and ultimate beneficial owners. Government advertising spend by outlet and department.
Defence, included. Force structure, capability plans, base locations, alliance commitments, exercise outcomes and every defence contract — published. Protected, narrowly and with independent review: real-time operational movements in active conflict, cryptographic methods, and source identities. Foreign intelligence services already know Australia’s capabilities; the only people kept in the dark by defence secrecy are Australians.
Every payment stream. Every NDIS payment published with AI anomaly flagging, and the ANAO given continuous audit capability — anomalies flagged in real time, not years after the money is gone.
The advice. Every advice of the National Advisory Council on the public record, and every bill published before the vote. The default is reversed: under the party’s transparency doctrine, publication is the rule and secrecy is the exception that must justify itself — the standing model of Memo 18.
