This page covers the 44th and 45th Parliaments in full. We have read only part of the 46th Parliament — this member’s own document may be among those still unread. An empty section below means we have no recorded entry — not that the member declared nothing. The Registers of Senators’ Interests are tabled as combined Senate volumes, and we have not read them into this site yet. An empty register here is our coverage gap — not a record that this senator declared nothing.

- As a guest of the Port of Newcastle I was fortunate to see in person the special effects and amazing high energy stunts performed last Saturday night by Nitro Circus at McDonald Jones Stadium. Apart from the always hot but delicious party pies in hospitality I particularly enjoyed seeing the local boys performing along side the worlds best, defying gravity and physics by jumping bikes, rollerblades, wheelchairs & lounges with unbelievable skill – Cost UnknownDeclared since 10 Nov 2025Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗

- I was blessed be given 2 tickets to see the Wallabies claim victory in their first Test for 2025 after a Harry Wilson try in the 77th minute sealed a 21-18 win over Fiji at McDonald Jones Stadium in early July as a guest of my former employer, the Port of Newcastle in their hospitality suite. After an initial period of shock and dismay at the difference in play between my Lion's supporter wife's favourite football, Rugby Union and my beloved Rugby League. I was somewhat confused by the constant pile on's and having extra people in scrums but was able to adapt and enjoy the first victory out of 16 attempts of attending various football games with the Port – Cost unknownDeclared since 23 July 2025Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- At a fascinating and insightful dinner hosted by Luke Mackenzie of Metcash and attended by a selection of his independent grocers at Courgette Restaurant I heard real world accounts of the negative impacts of the Albanese governments smoking and vaping policies on small business from those on the front line and how organised crime has thrived due to these policies at the expense of legitimate small businesses. I also learned more about the threats that Australia’s small independent grocers face while providing a credible and affordable alternative to Coles and Woolworths who enjoy what the ACCC have called "an entrenched position in an oligopolistic market" – Cost Unknown (likely <$300)Declared since 27 Mar 2025Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- Thanks to Optus Gr team, I witnessed live what could be the greatest finish to a Supercar race all year on Saturday 22nd February at the opening Supercar round for 2025 at Sydney Motorsport Park I saw Cam Waters in his mighty Ford Mustang enter the final corner of the final lap in second place and spectacularly side draft down the main straight to a stunning victory over the pair of Triple Eight Camaro’s after a very rough and tumble the last half a dozen laps. Included also was a WAU team hat, a grid walk before the start of the race, a pit tour of the WAU garage during the race to watch the WAU team service the Optus Mustang of Chaz Mostert up close and a fascinating chat with WAU team GM Bruce Stewart. – Cost Unknown (likely >300)Declared since 27 Feb 2025Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- Finally, I was able to celebrate the appointment of my wonderful former Port of Newcastle colleague and good friend Tanya McDonald to the ranks of renowned firm DPG Advisory Solutions where she will be working on regulatory and policy advice, media relations, strategic communications and stakeholder campaign development as part of DPG's experienced team. The sophisticated and remarkable classic European bistro style dining experience we enjoyed at Louis eclipsed the Harry's Café de'Wheels pie's and hot dog's we'd lunched on in our previous working life next door to our former office, beside the beautiful working Newcastle harbour. - Cost unknown <$300Declared since 10 Oct 2024Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- Following a briefing in Parliament by Coalition for Conservation I was invited to a reunion dinner of attendees from the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow before I was elected to Parliament, more commonly referred to as COP26 by C4C CEO Cristina Talacko. As her guest I was treated to a delightful mix of modern Pan-Asian cuisine and invigorating conversation at the elegant and spacious Chairman & Yip, the experience relying heavily on the sense of sight though to appreciate the beautiful presentation of the food as the sense of taste had been vacated due to my tastebuds still being traumatised from a molten hot curry pie I had regrettably attempted to inhale earlier that same day - Cost unknown <$300Declared since 10 Oct 2024Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- It appears the best thing I can do to support my local Newcastle Jets Soccer team is to stay away from their games. I was gifted two tickets to the corporate facility by the Jets to their round 16 Australia Cup fixture against Macarthur FC at Maitland Sportsground on Sunday 25 August. What started out promising after a converted penalty in the 15th minute and a second goal only a few minutes later slowly crumbled in heartbreaking circumstances during the second half, and sadly the thrilling seven-goal encounter that rainy day didn't go our way. I am somewhat to blame by mentioning to Lucas Coleman at half time when we were 2-0 up that over the 15 games I have attended as a guest between the sponsorship deal at my previous job at The Port of Newcastle and my current position, I had never seen a Jets win - Cost UnknownDeclared since 28 Aug 2024Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- On the back of being in Queensland for the Metcash conference and some meetings to assist with a proposed new senate enquiry I decided to reach out and ask for tickets to the State of Origin decider at Suncorp Stadium. The NRL (National Rugby League) was in a benevolent mood and acquiesced to my request with a grandstand seat. It was the first time I had been to a decider in Brisbane since I was working with the Mighty Newcastle Knights in 2005 (when the blues were triumphant) and I attended with some trepidation. There was no need to worry as the superior skills and passion of the Magnificent Blues were too much for the Queenslanders to handle. There was no catering provided but I was able to purchase sustenance and sated my appetite for all other things with the sweet taste of victory over the banana benders.

- I had arranged to meet with my former boss and colleagues from the Port of Newcastle in Canberra over dinner to discuss the exciting progress the Port is making to expand their business and make it easier for farmers and primary producers to access port facilities and new export markets, however my flight to Canberra that evening was delayed an hour and a half, just long enough to mean the restaurant would be finished service by the time I landed and dinner was cancelled. Fortuitously there were two members of the PoN delegation booked on the same delayed flight who saw me looking to satisfy my hunger with the fast food options on offer at Newcastle airport. So instead we decided to have an impromptu food hall dinner as a plan B to the BlackFire booking, I ordered a BBQ Box meal from Red Rooster which I upsized to large for the extra Pepsi Max and chips but I didn’t end up eating the mash potato. The PoN staff ordered meals at the same time as I and then paid for all meals, then joined me to talk work while we enjoyed our delicious chicken feast – cost approx $22.50Declared since 24 June 2024Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- Australia Post employs more than 63,000 people of all ages, genders and abilities, and in financial year 2023 they delivered more than 2.5 billion items around the country and had more than 202 million visits from members of the Australian community to their Post Office network. It’s this network and planned reductions to it in my local community which was the subject of discussion at a dinner with members of the Australia Post board, other local representatives and Hunter based customers at the wonderful EARP Distillery Co. I had a three course meal starting with the wonderful Kingfish Ceviche that I thought was delicious followed by the main of Medium Rare Steak accompanied by chat potatoes and beans. Dessert was a Chocolate Delice. these were served on an alternate drop system and I was very happy to not be asked to swap. In the absence of Pepsi max at the bar I also had a number of cans of it's poor cousin Coke no sugar.Declared since 21 May 2024Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- My wife and I were guests of Shane Mattiske in the Newcastle Jets Chairman's lounge, the stress of missing two penalties was too much and forced me to break my after Christmas diet by indulging the magnificent half time party pies while witnessing Apostolos Stamatelopoulos claw back a draw from the Melbourne Victory in the 88th minute. Unfortunately the Jet's were unable to break the Victory’s amazing 15 game unbeaten streak this season. I hope we do better against the Mariners!Declared since 6 Feb 2024Holder not statedSponsored travelPDF ↗
- Two tickets and hospitality from the National Rugby League to see the mighty Newcastle Knights defeat the Canberra Raiders in an overtime cliffhanger at McDonald Jones Stadium. I took my father, I ate one single prawn (too nervous to eat) and then had two party pies when we were in the lead in the second half, and had seven Pepsi Max’s throughout.

Annual member and senator returns are lodged by a small number of parliamentarians: the whole corpus holds 52 of them. Returns lodged by senators are linked to their profiles where the name on the lodged return matches the name we hold for them; where it does not, the return stays here unlinked rather than being attached to a guess. The Registers of Senators' Interests have not been read into this site yet, so a senator can appear here with a funding return and no declared interests beside it, which is a gap in our coverage rather than a record of what they declared. A parliamentarian with no return has not been shown to have received nothing — most never lodge one.
Amounts below the disclosure threshold in force for a given year are not published by the AEC and are absent from these figures. A low total means little was disclosed, not that little was received.
