Ranked by what was claimed in Jan–Mar 2026. "Discretionary" excludes Office Facilities, which are administered by the Department of Finance and not at the MP's discretion. The "largest discretionary line" chip also excludes Employee Travel, which is staff travel charged to a minister's allocation and dominates ministerial cards misleadingly. See methodology.
