What is Folio Australia?

Folio Australia connects official Australian Government public records into one Public Records Intelligence platform. Political donations, procurement contracts, lobbying registrations and parliamentary interest declarations are linked to the same people and organisations, so a single search returns everything on the public record.

Every fact is source-backed. Every relationship is verifiable. Nothing is inferred, nothing is scored, and nothing is written by AI. Folio is a research surface over Australia's own public record — not a database of opinions.
