00:00 In recent days I have made a subsequent disclosure to the Premier's Office to self-report an
00:06 omission on my ministerial disclosures as required by the Code of Conduct.
00:11 Under my initial disclosure I included a property owned by my wife and another property owned
00:16 by my wife with her siblings.
00:19 A further property owned by my wife was unfortunately omitted in that disclosure.
00:23 I believe that disclosure was the first required after my appointment as a minister in the
00:29 Minns Labor Government.
00:31 At the time I also disclosed that my father-in-law owned property at Broadmeadow, but undertook
00:36 that I would notify under the Code of Conduct any changes to any perceived conflict.
00:44 Subsequently I provided another return that included the omitted property owned by my
00:49 wife.
00:50 I also provided a subsequent updated disclosure under the Ministerial Code of Conduct that
00:57 again identified the subject property owned by my wife at Broadmeadow.
01:03 I also took steps to subsequently notify the Premier that I now had become aware of the
01:08 properties owned within Broadmeadow by my in-laws, also now represented a conflict of
01:16 interest.
01:18 In recent days I again notified the Premier's Office that I had now spoken to both my in-laws
01:23 and my siblings-in-laws to assemble a full list of each of their interests, and I have
01:29 provided those to the Premier's Office.
01:32 I appreciate and firmly believe that ministers must be held to the highest standards, and
01:38 would like to note that this oversight was identified due to my own self-reporting.
01:45 I thank the House for its consideration.
