Total Interests: 56

Latest alteration: Travel or hospitality - 25/11/24

Source: Statement of Registrable Interests - this contains interests declared as at 11/04/22 and alterations since then.  

This statement contains interests declared as at the dissolution of the previous parliament on 11/04/22 and any alterations since then, including new interests and amendments and deletions to existing interests. The date of an alteration is when it was declared to the register, not when the change occurred.

Open Politics has amended the wording and formatting of some MPs' and senators' declared interests to improve readability or to correct mistakes. To notify Open Politics of an error or omission, contact us.

Breach: Gorman declared on 23/08/22 that he'd divested his shareholding in Vulcan Energy Resources (ASX:VUL), as required to do under the Prime Minister's new ministerial code of conduct, but he failed to declare owning the shares in the last parliament. While this is not a breach of the ministerial code, it puts him at risk of being found guilty of serious contempt of the House of Representatives and dealt with accordingly, as detailed in the House resolution on the Registration of Members' interests, if he knowingly failed to disclose owning the shares.
