MHA allowances used past their limit

Members whose spending in an allowance category passed its published limit for the year.

Since the Auditor General's 2006 review of constituency allowances, the House of Assembly publishes each member's limit and spending. Spending past a limit is the first thing people check.

How this is worked out, and what it cannot tell you

The Open Contracting Partnership's guide to red flags puts it this way: a red flag is not evidence that anything wrong happened. It points at something that may be worth a closer look.

No member spent more than a published limit in any category, in any year from 2020-21 to 2025-26. The check covered every category that has a limit in the 256 annual detail reports that load; 8 reports linked from the House of Assembly site are broken and could not be checked.
