Private interests of Australia's politicians

Sharon Claydon MP

Sharon Claydon MP

Member for Newcastle, NSW

Australian Labor Party

Total Interests: 18

Latest alteration: Saving or investment accounts - 26/02/24

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: Claydon failed to declare she had complimentary membership of the Qantas Chairman's Lounge. She only declared it on 26/2/24, the same day Crikey and Open Politics revealed she and other MPs had not declared their memberships.
