As required by resolutions of the House I table a copy of the Register of Members’ Interests, volumes 1-4, for the 43rd Parliament. I ask leave of the House to present copies of notifications of alterations of interests received from 24 June 2010 to 19 July 2010. The House was dissolved on 19 July 2010.

Leave granted.

I ask leave of the House to make a short statement in connection with the report.

Leave granted.

I have just presented, as is required by the resolution of the House, the initial statements of interests by members at the commencement of the 43rd Parliament.

I take this opportunity to remind members that, in the last parliament, the Committee of Privileges and Members’ Interests agreed that, from the 43rd Parliament, members’ statements of interests will be made available electronically on the Parliament House website. As it is a significant administrative task to load this material to the website, I advise that the register should be available on the website from mid next week. Members’ entries will then be updated as notifications of alterations are received.

I also advise members that a number of security features will be included in the electronic copy loaded to the website to protect members. The Committee of Privileges and Members’ Interests will keep this matter under review.
