Day 29

“Opposition Leader #PeterDutton failed to declare for two years his #interest in a #FamilyTrust that operated lucrative #ChildcareBusinesses when he was a #CabinetMinister, a #FourCorners #investigation has found.

Documents obtained by Four Corners and ABC Investigations show that while Mr Dutton's register of interests disclosed his wife #Kirilly's interests in childcare operations at the time, he did not declare between 2014 and 2016 that he was a beneficiary of the #RHTFamilyTrust that owned the businesses, as required by parliamentary rules.

The investigation also analysed more than 20 years of property records tied up in complicated and opaque trust structures and found that the Dutton family, with Peter Dutton's father #BruceDutton, made almost $15 million in profit from #buying and #selling private childcare #businesses as well as dozens of #residential #property deals.”

Remember the quote about not listening to the ABC? The Family Trust issue is a measure of #character according to Judge #MargaretWhite.
