One Nation senator for NSW Sean Bell has declared his interests. The Queenslander, who didn't live in NSW when he was appointed to the Senate, has bought a house on the Central Coast. openpolitics.au/48/sean-bell

Trump has given the PM a desk set with stationery. And a student called Florence has given him a friendship bracelet. openpolitics.au/48/anthony-a...

Our latest article in @crikey.com.au. Rent seekers and Sinophobes just have to scream 'sovereign capacity' to get government handouts.

Following Senator Jacinta Price's offensive comments about Indian Australians the shadow immigration minister Paul Scarr has donated to an Indian charity. That'll fix it. Not. openpolitics.au/48/paul-scar...

One third of parliamentarians have disclosed at least one trust. The true number of politicians with assets in a trust is likely much higher. @openpolitics.bsky.social reports.

Federal ministers aren't allowed to invest in companies. But there are no constraints on their family members or parliamentary colleagues outside the ministry.

A piece from me and Sean Johnson at @openpolitics.bsky.social today on where this parliament is investing. Plenty of graphs for you to play with, have a poke around! www.crikey.com.au/2025/09/16/w...

49 politicians from outside the ACT have declared owning second residences in Canberra and nearby Queanbeyan. Incredibly, they are entitled to a travel allowance of $318 for every night they stay in their own home on parliamentary business.

Deputy PM and Defence Minister Richard Marles would appear to no longer be a member of the exclusive Qantas Chairman's Lounge. Has he offended the Qantas CEO? Or did he fail to declare his membership? openpolitics.au/48/richard-m...

Assistant minister Rebecca White has failed to divest her shares as required under the ministerial code of conduct. We contacted her office to ask why she hasn't divested, but radio silence. openpolitics.au/48/rebecca-w...

Labor MP Josh Burns has only ONE interest: a bank account. The only other he's declared is his partner's house. Curious he has not declared Qantas Chairman's Lounge and Virgin Beyond Lounge as he was a member in the last parliament. openpolitics.au/48/josh-burns

66 federal pollies (29%) have now declared their private interests to the 48th parliament. 160 have yet to do so with only five business days left before the deadline of 19 August. Poor form. openpolitics.au/register/bro...

Education Minister Jason Clare has declared his interests to the new parliament. He and Nationals senator Ross Cadell are the gold standard for disclosure. The PM is not. openpolitics.au/48/jason-clare

10 more MPs declared their interests to the new parliament today. 40 so far since 22 July. Only 186 to go. openpolitics.au/register/bro...

Labor MP Anne Stanley has quit the dodgy CFMEU and joined the formerly-dodgy Health Services Union. openpolitics.au/48/anne-stan...

30 of 226 MPs have declared their private interests to the new parliament. Deadline: 19 August. openpolitics.au/register/bro...

The most honest minister in the federal government? The economics geek who sits on the outer ministry because he won't be beholden to factions only owns one house, his wife a couple of diversified investments. t.co/lFqkRzD3NN

17 MPs have now declared their private interests to the 48th parliament. See who has. And hasn't. Deadline 19 August. openpolitics.au/register/bro...

13 MPs have declared their interests to the new parliament - 213 have yet to do so. The deadline is 19 August. openpolitics.au/register/bro...

Tasmanian Liberal senators Claire Chandler and Richard Colbeck are the first pollies to declare their interests to the 48th parliament. openpolitics.au/48/claire-ch... openpolitics.au/48/richard-c...

Greens Leader Larissa Waters has declared a loan from 'a family member'. Wonder what the repayment terms are like from the Bank of Mum and Dad? Or the Sibling Bank? openpolitics.au/47/larissa-w...

Breaking: Greens senator Jordon Steele-John has closed his ANZ savings account. More to come. openpolitics.au/47/jordon-st...

Nearly 300 Australians own companies in the tax haven of Luxembourg. This article looks at four: a banker connected to an ex-president of Ukraine, a Bond Corp fraudster, an illegal drug supplier, and a Kremlin associate. openpolitics.au/analysis/mys...

Here's a great documentary about the collapse of Scale Facilitation and its misuse of $76m in taxpayer funds. The founder David Collard flew Peter Dutton to Scale's New York office in 2022 at company expense, though it seems taxpayers picked up the tab. realitylearning.org/dttc/

Great to speak to David Marr yesterday on Late Night Live about the private interests of MPs. #auspol #corruption www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Is it hypocritical to campaign on law and order after facing court yourself multiple times over the past six years? "Not at all," says One Nation candidate Sakellarios "Charlie" Bairamis. @openpolitics.bsky.social reports.

One Nation candidate with multiple brushes with the law campaigning on law and order. Our piece today in @crikey.com.au #auspol www.crikey.com.au/2025/04/01/o...

One Nation candidate Sakellarios "Charlie" Bairamis wants to crack down on criminal offenders. It's a bold move for someone who's faced criminal court proceedings on five matters over the past six years. @openpolitics.bsky.social reports.

Appalling. Allegra Spender, one of parliament's richest MPs, has disclosed 3 new trusts without declaring the trusts' activities or beneficiaries as is required. Last week she was busted for not directorships in 7 companies and shareholdings in four. openpolitics.au/47/allegra-s...

How the fuck this is not Law already is fucking beyond me. It’s 2025 …. #NACC

Great to see Senator Payman supports in principle our proposed ban on politicians accepting gifts, junkets and hospitality. Another supporter is Indie MP Andrew Wilkie. Guess how many ALP and Coalition pollies are on board? ZERO. openpolitics.au/analysis/no-...

Wow! Independent MP Andrew Wilkie supports in-principle our proposed ban on MPs accepting gifts, sponsored travel and hospitality. Subject to an inquiry. He is the ONLY MP or senator so far to have responded favourably to our proposal. #auspol #gifts openpolitics.au/analysis/no-...

Breaking: The Deputy Prime Minister's Chief of Staff has signed a confidential agreement to settle her workplace dispute with the Commonwealth, the DPM, and the Prime Minister's Chief of Staff Tim Gartrell.

Allegra Spender blames an 'oversight' for failing to declare seven directorships and four shareholdings. How does someone forget to declare this many interests? Extraordinary. dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/tea...

The shadow minister for government efficiency is not very efficient. Price's office told us 8 days ago that her undeclared directorship would "be rectified as soon as possible", yet she still hasn't declared it to the Interests Register. @crikey.com.au www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/14/j...

Many thanks to former AFP officer Chris Douglas for presenting our anti-corruption seminar yesterday, How Good People Are Corrupted. Chris discussed how people are groomed to act corruptly and highlighted red flags on whether you are being groomed. openpolitics.au/analysis/how... #auspol

In other words, no. The Opposition does not support our proposed ban on gifts from influence peddlers. If you live in a Coalition electorate email your MP today using the link below and tell them to support a ban. openpolitics.au/analysis/no-...

If you're as appalled as we are about MPs accepting gifts, junkets and hospitality then email your local MP via the link to tell them to support our proposed ban. Since we emailed all MPs 11 days ago NOT ONE has responded positively. But 7 candidates have. openpolitics.au/analysis/no-...

"The head of DOGE-lite could be a cabinet minister in the next couple of months, so the public needs to know whether the trust’s investments could create a conflict of interest with her ministerial duties," writes Sean Johnson.

Senator Price won't divulge her investments in a family trust. She could be a minister in months, so the public needs to know in order to assess whether the investments could create a conflict of interest with her ministerial duties. Our piece in @crikey.com.au www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/14/j...

Exclusive | Jacinta Nampijinpa Price has failed to declare her directorship of a family trust, in breach of resolutions on senators' interests.

Coalition senator Claire Chandler and her husband are officially 'homeless' after selling their residential and investment properties in Blackmans Bay, Tassie. See how many properties your representatives own: openpolitics.au/analysis/nea...

It's great to see some independent candidates support a ban on MPs taking gifts, travel and hospitality from influence peddlers. Congrats to @nicboele.bsky.social, Claire Miles, and @drveritycooper.bsky.social. We need to work on Senator Ross Cadell. 😀 openpolitics.au/analysis/no-...

Progress. Climate 200-backed Indie Nicolette Boele supports our proposed ban on politicians accepting gifts, junkets, and hospitality. It's a sad reflection on Canberra's culture of entitlement that only one sitting pollie, Nats Senator Ross Cadell, is open to reform. openpolitics.au/analysis/no-...

A start. Senator Ross Cadell shares our concerns about corruption risks from gifts, junkets and hospitality. While he doesn't support a ban he's open to imposing monetary limits and preventing foreign entities and foreign governments from giving. #auspol openpolitics.au/analysis/no-...

Are you sick of federal politicians accepting gifts, junkets, and sports tickets from influence peddlers? Do something about it by emailing your local MP and telling them to stop. Our campaign site will do it for you - just enter your address at the link below. openpolitics.good.do/bangiftsjunk...

Open Politics is launching a new campaign to stop politicians accepting gifts, junkets and hospitality from vested interests. Help out by telling your local MP and senators that you don’t support this grubby practice and want it banned. openpolitics.au/analysis/no-...

Must be a nice jacket. Patrick Gorman likes his special event jacket from an Open Government Partnership meeting so much that he's asked PM&C to invoice him for the value above the gift limit ($300 from private/$750 from govts). #auspol #Memories openpolitics.au/47/patrick-g...

New senator Leah Blyth's interests are available. She certainly is a Liberal. She's a shareholder and director of Liberal Club Limited, and a trustee and officeholder of the SA Division. openpolitics.au/47/leah-blyth
