Private interests of Australia's politicians

Senator Anthony Chisholm

Senator Anthony Chisholm

Senator for Queensland

Assistant Minister for Education Assistant Minister for Regional Development

Australian Labor Party

Total Interests: 48

Latest alteration: Travel or hospitality - 5/03/24

Source: Statement of Registrable Interests - this contains interests declared as at 1/01/70 and alterations since then.  

This statement contains interests declared as being held on 1/01/70 and any alterations since then, including new interests and amendments and deletions to existing interests. The date of an alteration is when it was declared to the register, not when the change occurred.

Unfortunately, due to Senate restrictions the interests of senators' spouses/partners and dependent children are not publicly disclosable.

Open Politics has amended the wording and formatting of some MPs' and Senators' declared interests to improve readability or to correct mistakes. To notify Open Politics of an error or omission, contact us.

Problems: Senator Chisholm breached the rules for the Register of Senators’ Interests by failing to declare within 35 days that he received complimentary tickets to a cricket game between Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder on 17/12/23. He only declared the benefit on 5/3/24 - 44 days past the deadline. This means Chisholm has also breached the Ministerial Code of Conduct, which requires ministers to comply with the register rules.
