Disclosure round-up Ah, the register of interest, that inconsistently and infrequently updated record of what our elected officials allow us to know about the gifts they receive, the investments they make and the events they’ve attended on other people’s money.
They are usually terse, sometimes impenetrably vague, sometimes flowing and generous, such as Nationals Senator Ross Cadell’s, and sometimes a mixture of candour and reticence, such as veteran Kennedy MP Bob Katter’s. Or they can be nearly silent: Labor’s Ed Husic, Emma McBride, Julie Collins, Brian Mitchell, Alicia Payne, Tracey Roberts, Marion Scrymgour, Michael Freelander, Milton Dick and crossbenchers Dai Le and Rebekha Sharkie have all left the register unchanged since late 2022.
