An ABC investigation reveals WA Government minister Alannah MacTiernan, who oversaw a failed wave energy project, had long-standing financial links to a closely related company stretching back almost a decade.

Ms MacTiernan said she gave away those shares, which she valued at $6,000, to a leprosy charity before being sworn in as a minister several months later.

The ABC is not suggesting Ms MacTiernan derived any financial benefit from the Carnegie wave project. The project was axed last month, due to Carnegie's financial difficulties, but not before the WA Government had made a $2.6 million milestone payment.
