(1 – 2) Ministerial gift registers are tabled in Parliament annually, including for 2023-24. This goes over and above any legislative or cabinet requirement, and demonstrates the Cook Government’s commitment to transparency.
This is in stark contrast to the previous Liberal National Government, which did not once table a compliant gift register in their more than eight years in Government.
