Good. Leaves more girls available for the rest of us. That's a point but I think there are several here who prefer boys. Even better

Hmmm.. we seen this before, where the government takes taxpayer money to attack their political opponents.

And when Government took my superannuation, that is I had paid it, before employers paid it. And put it into consolidated revenue to keep government running. With promises that it would be looked after and all accounted for. It is still missing.

Hmm which government could that have been?

The Howard government did that to set up the Future Fund.

OOH restructuring one's tax affairs is now corrupt? So one can't go from a Sole trader to a Partnership. a Partnership to a Trust, a Trust to a Company?

What about conflicts of interest and breaches of parliamentary conventions?

Changing the question doesn't obviate the former.

But - Does Wilson have an interest in Wilson Assets Management? Not according to the Member's Register. Was a fee paid to Wilson Asset Management? So what conflict of interest? Wink

Which Parliamentary Convention did he breach?

I'm curious. Wink

Can't use his relative's company in which he owns shares in conjunction with parliamentary business. Read the article, doofus.

Parliamentary committees are meant to examine the impact of government legislation, not seek feedback on opposition policies, which is what Wilson did.

That's a breach.

And, he's a shareholder in the company that is leading the push to undermine the franking credits policy.

That's a conflict of interest.

Thus, the corrupt grub has to go.

Let's see-

Distant relative. - Yep. I have distant relatives whose names I don't even know. As I am sure many do.

"in which he owns shares" - Not mentioned anywhere in the story and not on his Pecuniary Interests Register.

So Doofus. Tell us more. Quote where he actually owns shares in this "distant relative's" company.

"he has a massive conflict of interest as he's a shareholder in the company that is leading the charge in undermining this policy"

"The Liberal MP is a distant relative of the fund manager, and a shareholder in his business.

"According to the parliamentary register of interests, on 10 May 2017 the Liberal MP updated his register to list shareholding in Wilson Asset Management through Wilson-Bolger Superannuation Pty Ltd."

"When Parliament establishes a committee of inquiry, it decides on the terms of reference – that is, the specific purpose of the inquiry. The committee advertises in newspapers and invites written submissions from the community, experts and interest groups regarding the issue."

Are you saying a distant relative can't make a submission? Edit: Or even a close relative?

I suggest you check again. Wilson Asset Management is NOT on his PCR.
