Total Interests: 89
Latest alteration: Travel or hospitality - 20/07/23
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 us of a mistake or oversight, email sean@openpolitics.au.
Problems: 1. Marles breached the register rules, and consequently the Ministerial Code of Conduct, by not disclosing who provided him with a free round of golf at a top US club and for not disclosing the hospitality to the register within 28 days.
2. In August 2022 the Deputy PM declared his sponsored trip to China in September 2019. He should've declared it 28 days after the event (not nearly 3 years later), so he could be found guilty of serious contempt of parliament.
