How this page is made. Names, parties and ballot positions are from the VEC's official list. Bios and campaign quotes are copied word for word from the candidate's party profile or their own website, and each links to its source: we don't summarise or rate what they say. The issues are the same ones used for sitting members' records, so candidates can be compared on equal terms. Election history comes from official VEC and AEC results. Donations are as published on VEC Disclosures.
