Luke Howarth MP

Luke Howarth MP

Member for Petrie, Queensland

Shadow Assistant Treasurer Shadow Minister for Financial Services

Liberal National Party of Queensland

Total Interests: 24

Latest alteration: Gifts - 5/12/23

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: Howarth failed to declare within 28 days complimentary tickets he received to a Dolphins Game at Suncorp Stadium on 24 March 2023, meaning he could be found guilty of serious contempt of the House. Further, he backdated his disclosure to 30 March 2023 to avoid the appearance of a breaking the 28 day deadline.
