Title: Labor MP's Undeclared $2.31 Million Property
Post by Greens_Win on May 17th, 2016 at 5:55pm
Labor frontbencher David Feeney owns an undeclared $2.31 million property, potentially placing him in "serious contempt" of the Parliament.

And the ALP power broker says he "doesn't know" if the house is negatively geared - despite Labor's proposed changes to property tax rules being a key election issue - while also admitting the renovations he claimed had prevented him from living in the home have not actually begun.

Sooooo...what's your whinge?  That he omitted putting it in the Register or that he might have it negatively geared?

Omitted?
How many here would forget about a $2.31 million property?


Also he claimed he didn't live in it due to renovations.
Yet it's tenanted, and the renovations haven't begun.
So he didn't live in the seat he wants to represent, and he created a lie to hide behind.

Is this really what labor is all about?

Looks like a dump to me.  But.....he says he omitted it.  Hardly likely to get away with trying to hide it when a simple Titles Office search would reveal all.

The pair have also declared ownership of an investment property in the Melbourne suburb of Seddon purchased for $380,000 back in 2004.

But Mr Feeney has not declared the $2.31 million Northcote property, purchased on December 24, 2013, more than two years after the parliamentary deadline. The rules around what MPs must declare are quite strict and require that all property, shares and gifts worth more than $300 be reported within 28 days.

Although Mr Feeney updated his register twice in 2015, on neither occasion did he declare the Northcote house.

When Fairfax Media visited the property on Tuesday neighbours said they were aware of the MP's renovation plans but there was no sign of work under way.

The Darebin City Council website revealed a building permit application was submitted on August 12, 2015 - nearly two years after the 2013 election and the purchase of the property, but no commencement date is listed for the building of the new dwelling.

When contacted about the omission on Tuesday, Mr Feeney initially said he believed the property was declared on his register before conceding it was not and promising "that is something I will look in to straight away".

The property was listed for $700 a week rent on Domain.com.au as recently as January 2016 and Mr Feeney confirmed that tenants were on a lease that ran until July and after that, "I think we are proposing to move to month to month".

Asked why he had told Fairfax Media the Northcote property was being renovated when no work had commenced, Mr Feeney said: "it's our intention to renovate, we are tendering with builders" and that architects plans had been completed.

Mr Feeney said his Seddon property was negatively geared but "I don't know about Northcote".

"It is a matter of public knowledge that my wife and I purchased a home in Northcote in 2013. This has been reported in the media. There has been no conflict of interest in my wife and I having our home in Northcote," he said.

Contacted by Fairfax Media after the story broke, Greens deputy leader Scott Ludlam was reluctant to comment as he said he was checking his property portfolio to see if he had also "forgotten about a $2.3 million property he owned".

"This improves Alex Bhathal's chances of winning the seat, this is a remarkable act of carelessness. How do you forget a $2.3 million property?"

And Liberal frontbencher Alex Hawke said Mr Feeney "clearly had to answer questions about these issues".

"Everyone understands the requirement in relation to disclosing their property," he said.

"It is odd that he can't recall if he is negatively geared or positively geared, given you have to declare this on your tax return."

Under parliamentary rules, MPs must update their register of interests, including property holdings, within 28 days and if an MP fails to do this they could be found "guilty of a serious contempt of the House of Representatives and shall be dealt with by the House accordingly".

In practice, that means Mr Feeney could be referred to the House Privileges committee and censured.

The last MP to be censured in this way was disgraced former Labor MP Craig Thomson

You obviously don't recognise sarcasm.
The only way you forget to declare a 2.31million property for two years, because it conflicts interests in politics.

Probably, the labor candidate doesn't like the electorate of Batman, preferring the Greens electorate of Melbourne. Because of the great representative there.

Background and early career[edit]
Feeney was born in Adelaide. His father is an immigrant from Northern Ireland. Raised Catholic, he attended Mercedes College, Adelaide before moving to Melbourne, where he attended Monash University, gaining a master's degree in Public Policy.[1]

He worked in the national office of the Transport Workers Union, and for Ian Baker, a Labor member of the Victorian Parliament. Feeney is a prominent member of the right-wing Labor Unity faction[2] and is linked with the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA).[3] Feeney served as Victorian State Secretary of the Labor Party and State Labor Campaign Director from March 1999 to December 2002, where he enjoyed considerable success as a fund-raiser and campaign director.[4] Despite this, he was dismissed in 2002 as a result of a change in factional alignments within the party.

Feeney then worked for the Labor Victorian Premier, Steve Bracks, as Director of Strategy, and was the Campaign Director for Labor during the 2006 South Australian state election.[5] The re-elected Labor Premier, Mike Rann, referred to him in his victory speech as "my Eisenhower." During the 2007 federal election campaign Feeney was Labor's Assistant National Secretary, in charge of marginal seat campaigning. In December 2006 he supported Kevin Rudd's successful challenge to the leadership of Kim Beazley.

Could 'double-dipping' David Feeney derail Labor's campaign?

Every Monday to Friday I'll be delivering a personally-curated newsletter. Call it the double espresso of news – the morning news kickstart for busy people who want to know what they need to know before they get going.

1. David's double-dipping

There's no doubt David Feeney, a right-wing Labor party powerbroker, is in deep political trouble after forgetting that he owned a $2.3 million house which he failed to declare to Parliament. This earned him a strong admonishment from Labor Leader Bill Shorten but no sacking. Feeney is a critical ally of Shorten's in Victoria, so no surprise.

But Shorten will continue to face pressure. In politics the worst thing that can happen with any sort of scandal is that they keep rolling. Think Bronwyn Bishop and the helicopter - the story just didn't die down and it killed her political career.

Today there are fresh sparks in Feeney's case. His wife Liberty Sanger owns a house through her trust in Canberra where Feeney lives during Parliamentary sitting weeks, and, you guessed it, claims $270 per night from the taxpayer. 

This practice, enjoyed until now most prominently by former Joe Hockey, also the husband of an extremely wealthy wife, is by no means illegal or wrong. In fact Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, the multi-millionaire used to claim the allowance each night he stayed in his Canberra waterfront apartment owned by - you guessed it, his wife Lucy.

But it doesn't look good to the public. It didn't for Turnbull, nor Hockey and neither does it for Feeney. And it ensures his forgetfulness rears its head into the opposition's campaign for another day and a day Labor wants to be focussed on health policy.

For a funny side to this story, although I doubt many in Labor are laughing, the tenant in Feeney's forgotten house is urging his neighbours to vote Green.

Feeney's seat of Batman is one the Greens are aggressively targeting. You can read the ABC's esteemed election analyst Antony Green on their prospects here.

Someone who could forget a $2m dollar house is either a pathological liar or has dimensia.
Either way not a fit person for parliament.

Who gives a sh!t what the address is?
Other than yourself, that is.

Makes no never mind, the fact is that he didn't declare it.

Lots of other pollies will be doing a double check on their own portfolios.

If he HAS breached parliamentary rules, I'm sure Turnbull & Co will see to it that he is hung, drawn and quartered.





How rude of you.
A proper enquiry means checking the facts - not just trusting some journalist.

Love me, love my dog....

The facts are already there.
Knowing the address does NOT add to the underlying fact that the property was NOT declared.

Satisfying your prurient interest??
Now, that's a 'fact' of a different colour.***

All i'd say is , if you were listing your assets for centrelink , to work out your pension , and you just "forgot" you had a 2.3 million dollar property, you would probably be sitting in your lawyers office now, crying that you dont want to go to jail for fraud  ;)

You'd think so wouldn't you but Labor is a party of forgiving.
Look at Martin Ferguson even after the things he said. Oh no, he hasn't been forgiven.
Well look at Mark Latham. Oh they haven't forgiven him either.

Well maybe they don't mind rich people after all.
In which case they should love Turnbull.
