| Christian Porter | Self | In March 2021, I commenced defamation proceedings in a purely personal capacity against the ABC and Ms Louise Milligan [NSD 206 of 2021]. On 31 August 2021 this matter was finalised by the Court.
Although these matters have been conducted in a personal capacity and all legal services were engaged in a purely personal capacity, out of an abundance of caution and consistent with approaches adopted by other parliamentarians in relation to the provision of reduced fee or pro bono legal services, I advise that, in addition to my own personal funds, the following contributions have recently or may shortly be made: - As has been publicly reported, as part of the settlement an amount was paid by the ABC to Company Giles. Now that the matter has been resolved the relevant cheque will be deposited in Company Giles trust account and applied to my account - Part contribution to the payment of my fees by a blind trust known as the Legal Services Trust. As a potential beneficiary I have no access to information about the conduct and funding of the trust - My engagement of Ms Chrysanthou was on a commercial fee arrangement. However, consistent with her practice for individual clients, she did not charge me for all of the time she spent on the matter and in the recent settling of her fees I am aware there has been a reduction in fees which has resulted in me having received some services from Ms Chrysanthou on a reduced fee basis. Although all of the above contributions were made to me, or were for my benefit, in a purely personal capacity, in the interest of transparency and out of an abundance of caution I make this disclosure pursuant to item 14 of the Register of Members Interest. | 13/09/2021 |
| Christian Porter | Spouse/partner | Further to 2(i), after the death of her father, my wife Jennifer Porter, as the Executor named in her father''s last will and testament, became her father''s personal legal representative.
In December 2016, Jennifer Porter received the grant of probate in respect of her father''s estate. While Jennifer Porter is a potential beneficiary of a future distribution of assets from the estate of her late father, she has not yet received any distribution of assets from the estate nor has any trust been created by her as Executor in relation to the estate assets. | 11/04/2019 |
