Kristy McBain MP

Kristy McBain MP

Member for Eden-Monaro, NSW

Minister for Regional Development, Local Government and Territories

Australian Labor Party

Total Interests: 59

Latest alteration: Memberships - 19/01/24

Source: Statement of Registrable Interests - this contains interests declared as at 11/04/22 and alterations since then.  

This statement contains interests declared as at the dissolution of the previous parliament on 11/04/22 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.

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: Kristy McBain breached the ministerial code of conduct by transferring her shareholdings to her husband on becoming a minister. After Open Politics revealed this on August 27 2022, McBain's husband began divesting the shares on 30 August.
