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".

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 Ludlum

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.

Oh i know what sarcasm is Greens - I also know what "own goal" is. If I want to post an article with a sarcastic intent - I usually read it first to make sure it can't bounce back on me. You obviously didn't

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.

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.

Political career[edit]

Pat the perpetrator on the back ... of course not.
Neither old party wants corruption to end.

Vote Greens for a national ICAC.
Let's weed out corruption.
