Registered Interests

The Register of Members’ Financial Interests is updated fortnightly online when the House is sitting, and less frequently at other times. Interests remain in the Register for twelve months after the interest has ended.

The interests set out below are those included in the most recently published version of the Register. View current and previous versions of the Register.

An interest with rectification details indicates it has been subject to an investigation by the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards and subsequently rectified.
