Fraser Anning Net Worth: Estimated Value, Assets & Income

Fraser Anning's estimated net worth sits in the range of A$1 million to A$3 million as of mid-2026, based on declared parliamentary interests, publicly available property records, known income from his brief Senate career, and superannuation entitlements. That figure is conservative by design: Australian politicians are not required to disclose precise asset values, so the ceiling on this estimate could be higher if undisclosed business or property interests exist.

Quick summary

The net worth estimate in detail

The conservative range of A$1 million to A$3 million reflects what can be reasonably evidenced. Anning's Register of Senators' Interests statement (45th Parliament, last updated 26 November 2018) declared pastoral land, rural property interests, and other assets consistent with a working grazier who also held a Senate salary. No single publicly available document gives a balance-sheet figure, so this estimate is assembled by combining declared asset categories, salary data from Remuneration Tribunal determinations, superannuation accrual calculations, and property record benchmarks. The upper end of the range accounts for undisclosed pastoral or business equity; the lower end reflects only what is verifiably documented. Absent a full financial disclosure or court-ordered asset statement, the true figure remains an estimate.

How this estimate was calculated

Producing a net worth estimate for a former Australian senator requires triangulating several official data sources rather than relying on any single number. Here is the methodology I used for this profile.

1. Register of Senators' Interests (45th Parliament): Anning's filed statement, last updated 26 November 2018, is the primary documentary record of declared assets, liabilities, gifts and directorships during his Senate tenure. These PDFs are held by the Parliament of Australia and are publicly accessible.
2. Remuneration Tribunal determinations: Determination 2017/23 and subsequent compilations set the parliamentary base salary at A$207,100 (2017/18) rising to approximately A$211,250 in later periods, plus an electorate allowance of A$32,000. These figures underpin the salary income calculation.
3. Parliamentary superannuation rules: Senators elected after the 2004 changes moved to accumulation-style arrangements with an employer contribution rate aligned to approximately 15.4% of base salary from 2006 onward, per the Parliamentary Superannuation Amendment Act and Hansard debates from October 2006.
4. IPEA Assurance Review: The Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority published a disclosure log entry for 'Senator Fraser Anning – Assurance Review – Travel Expenses – November 2017 to January 2019,' which captures the travel claims and any repayments ordered.
5. ASIC and ABN Lookup: Searches of ASIC's company registers and the Australian Business Register identify any directorship, trustee company, or registered business name linked to Anning, providing leads on business income channels.
6. Property data: Queensland Titles registry records and commercial property data (CoreLogic/RP Data benchmarks) provide market-value context for declared pastoral and residential holdings.
7. Court and tribunal filings: ABC News reporting from November 2019 on a Bendigo Bank bankruptcy application, and an August 2021 tribunal order regarding social media posts, are cross-referenced with media reports to quantify known liabilities and legal costs.
8. AEC filings: The Australian Electoral Commission's party registration decision for Fraser Anning's Conservative National Party (April 2019) and candidate lists for the 2019 federal election provide campaign finance context.

Where primary sources give only asset categories rather than precise values, I apply conservative market benchmarks and note the uncertainty explicitly. This approach follows the same transparent methodology applied across all profiles on this site.

Income streams and earnings history

Senate salary

Anning served as a Senator from 10 November 2017 (declared elected by High Court order, per tabled parliamentary papers) until the expiry of his term following the May 2019 federal election, when he failed to retain his seat. Parliament of Australia – Tabled papers search (contains court orders declaring election and registers tabled dates) includes the High Court order declaring Anning elected on 10 November 2017. That is roughly 18 months of senatorial service. At a base salary of approximately A$207,100 to A$211,250 per year, plus an electorate allowance of around A$32,000, his gross official remuneration over the full period was in the order of A$360,000 to A$380,000 before tax. This is straightforward parliamentary pay, not unusual for a backbench senator, and comparable to what any other senator on standard base salary would have received in the same period.

Parliamentary superannuation

Under the post-2004 accumulation arrangements, the government contributes approximately 15.4% of base salary to a senator's superannuation fund. On an annual base salary of around A$207,100 to A$211,250, the employer super contribution amounts to roughly A$31,900 to A$32,500 per year. Over approximately 18 months of service, total super contributions would be in the region of A$47,000 to A$49,000, added to whatever prior accumulations Anning held from his pre-Senate working life. Senators who served fewer than 8 years do not qualify for the old defined-benefit parliamentary pension scheme, so Anning's entitlement is a standard accumulation balance rather than a lifetime pension.

Pastoral, business and consulting income

Before entering the Senate, Anning operated as a grazier in Queensland, and his Register of Senators' Interests declared rural and pastoral interests consistent with agricultural land ownership and operation. The exact operating income from pastoral activities is not publicly disclosed, but graziers holding meaningful acreage in regional Queensland can generate variable revenue from cattle or sheep production, leasing, and agribusiness. ASIC and ABN Lookup searches can verify any registered company or business name through which this activity was conducted. Use ABN Lookup, Australian Business Register (ABR) to verify ABNs, registered business names and declared business activity; it is the authoritative public index for these records ABN Lookup — Australian Business Register (ABR). Without a filed profit-and-loss statement in the public record, business income is treated in this estimate as a modest ongoing contribution rather than a quantified figure.

Travel allowances and reimbursements

Senators receive travel allowances and electorate allowances on top of base salary. The IPEA assurance review covering November 2017 to January 2019 examined Anning's travel expenses. The Guardian reported that IPEA ordered Anning to repay A$1,534 for taxi and family travel allowances that were used improperly. This amount is small in the context of overall income but matters for the liabilities section because it represents a verified recovery by the Commonwealth.

Known assets and liabilities

Declared assets

Anning's Register of Senators' Interests statement (45th Parliament, updated 26 November 2018) listed categories of assets including pastoral/rural land and property interests in Queensland. Australian senators are required to declare asset categories and descriptions but are not required to state precise monetary values, which is why this profile works from category evidence rather than a declared dollar figure. The pastoral and rural property category is the most significant declared asset class for Anning. Queensland rural land values vary widely by location, carrying capacity and water access, but holdings sufficient to support a working grazier operation would typically be valued in the hundreds of thousands to low millions of Australian dollars.

Liabilities and creditor actions

The most significant documented liability event is the November 2019 Bendigo Bank bankruptcy application. ABC News reported on 21 November 2019 that Bendigo Bank sought Anning's travel records as part of a bankruptcy application, suggesting a creditor dispute over an outstanding debt. The precise quantum of the Bendigo Bank claim was not fully reported in available public records at the time of writing, but the existence of a formal bankruptcy application indicates a meaningful liability that any comprehensive net worth assessment must flag. The outcome of that proceeding, including whether it was resolved, withdrawn, or resulted in a formal insolvency order, should be verified against Australian courts' public records at the time of reading this article. If a bankruptcy order was made and discharged, the liability may no longer be current; if resolved by settlement, the amount paid would reduce the net worth figure accordingly.

IPEA repayment

The A$1,534 repayment ordered by IPEA for taxi and family travel allowances is a minor but documented liability. It is included here for completeness and because it is drawn from a verifiable primary-source disclosure log entry and corroborated by The Guardian's reporting.

Fines, legal costs and settlements

In August 2021, ABC News reported that a tribunal ordered Fraser Anning to remove Facebook and Twitter posts that the tribunal found had vilified Muslims. Tribunal orders of this kind in Australia (typically under state anti-discrimination or vilification legislation) can include directives to remove content, issue apologies, and in some cases pay compensation to complainants, though the specific financial remedy in Anning's case is not fully detailed in publicly available reporting. Legal costs for defending such proceedings, regardless of outcome, would typically run into thousands of dollars in professional fees. This estimate treats legal costs from the 2021 tribunal matter as a minor but real reduction to net worth, estimated at several thousand dollars without a precise publicly filed figure.

The more financially significant legal event remains the 2019 Bendigo Bank bankruptcy application. Until the outcome of that proceeding is fully confirmed from court records, the associated liability is flagged as a material uncertainty in this estimate. Readers researching this profile in depth should check the Federal Court of Australia's public insolvency register for any sequestration order or dismissal related to Anning.

Biography and career timeline

Fraser Anning was born on 9 September 1955 in Queensland, Australia. His background before politics was primarily in agriculture and pastoral business, operating as a grazier in regional Queensland. He has no formal recorded prior career in law, finance, or corporate leadership that would suggest large-scale pre-senatorial wealth accumulation outside land and agricultural assets.

Year-by-year financial events

How Anning compares to political peers

Anning's net worth profile is most usefully compared to other Queensland backbench senators who served for a single term or partial term in the same period. A senator on the standard base salary of A$207,100 to A$211,250 with no leadership loadings earns what the Remuneration Tribunal calls the 'member's base salary,' which is the same for all non-office-holders. What differentiates senators financially is their pre-parliamentary wealth, post-parliamentary earning capacity, superannuation tenure, and any private business interests. For another relevant comparison, see andy paul corsair net worth.

The key contextual point is that Anning's senatorial earnings were standard and short. Senators who served under the pre-2004 defined-benefit scheme (the old Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation Scheme) can receive indexed pensions equivalent to a significant portion of their final salary for life, which represents far greater post-parliamentary wealth than Anning's accumulation balance. Anning does not qualify for that scheme. His financial standing relative to longer-serving peers therefore depends almost entirely on his pre-existing pastoral and business assets rather than parliamentary entitlements.

For comparison with other public figures whose wealth has been similarly documented from a mix of business, property, and public-sector income, profiles such as Andy Frisella and Andy Fraser illustrate how income source mix and career length shape net worth estimates for individuals whose public record is partial rather than fully disclosed.

Update note

This profile was researched and written as of July 2026. Fraser Anning has not held elected office since May 2019, and no confirmed new parliamentary or major business disclosures have entered the public record since then. The most material outstanding uncertainty is the resolution of the 2019 Bendigo Bank bankruptcy application: if court records show a sequestration order was made and subsequently discharged, or that the matter was settled, the net worth estimate may need downward or upward revision accordingly. The 2021 tribunal matter's financial remedy, if any compensation was ordered beyond content removal, would also affect the lower end of the estimate. This page will be updated if new Register of Interests filings, court judgments, company registry changes, or credible investigative reporting materially alters the documented financial picture. Readers with access to Queensland Titles registry records, the Federal Court insolvency register, or ASIC company extracts are encouraged to cross-reference those primary sources directly for the most current picture.
