Minister for Human Services, Shares

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:22): My question is to the Minister for Human Services. Will the minister explain why interest in IRESS appeared in her 2018 register of interests but did not appear in her 2019 register of interests? Will the minister explain why interest in Healthscope has appeared in her 2009 register, despite the minister claiming she disposed of them? Is the minister aware that the Ministerial Code of Conduct prevents ministers from trading in shares during the term of their appointment?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:23): I thank the honourable member for her question. The honourable member needs to be aware, if she is not already, because she needs to comply with the rules of the parliamentary disclosures as well, that any interests held over a 12-month period for a particular matter need to be reported. Therefore, those things have been disclosed in accordance with the register.
