EXCLUSIVE: Energy Minister AngusTaylorMP has again attracted scrutiny over previous business interests, after failing to declare his stake in a business he co-founded.

EXCLUSIVE: Energy Minister Angus Taylor has again attracted scrutiny over previous business interests, after failing to declare his stake in a business he co-founded. Sky News can reveal Mr Taylor failed to properly declare he was a director and 50 per cent shareholder of JRAT International Pty Ltd on the parliamentary register.

The Energy Minister neglected to register his interests for two years while he was in office until September 2015, when he resigned as a director and transferred his stakes. Mr Taylor admits JRAT was not one of the companies he declared, conceding that it 'should have been', but has argued that since the company conducted no business during the two year period he was in parliament, it presented 'no possible conflict of interest'.

AngusTaylorMP Australia needs a federal ICAC or royal commission with extensive powers & real teeth to examine political rorts, covert deals, undeclared interests, huge spending without tenders, political donations, party financing, jobs for mates & cosy lobbyist arrangements over last 6 yrs.

GrogsGamut AngusTaylorMP Shifty bloke

AngusTaylorMP AngusTaylor denies emissions rising. He says Libs policies will cut PowerBills by 25% but experts like GrattanInst say 3%. He won't answer questions on Watergate & says CaymanIslands base 'makes sure tax paid in Australia'. Now this! auspol AusVotes HumeVotes insiders

AngusTaylorMP The fact is the register of interest covers every parliamentarian and he failed to abide by the rules, but unlike the union request we don't want to change the rules, just bloody abide by the existing rules.

AngusTaylorMP 'EXCLUSIVE: Energy Minister AngusTaylorMP has again attracted scrutiny over previous business interests, after failing to declare his stake in a business he co-founded'... auspol ausvotes

AngusTaylorMP Criminal excuse for a politician

AngusTaylorMP He uses the Panama Papers to roll his smokes with.

Tony Abbott was Minister for Woman. Barnaby Joyce was the Minister for Water. Shouldn’t Angus Taylor be the Minister Against Corruption?

simonahac AngusTaylorMP This guy doesn't even bother putting the company in someone else's name. He takes from the mouth of the tax payer to his pocket directly. Safe and Secure.

AngusTaylorMP Must be an issue is is reporting it

simonahac AngusTaylorMP Does he know that it’s not the MPs themselves who determine if there’s a conflict of interest?

simonahac AngusTaylorMP Is he still around? I thought he was campaigning in the Cayman Islands.

AngusTaylorMP Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus.

AngusTaylorMP Obviously undeclared business interests are the reason why so many parliamentary members of the LiberalAus and The_Nationals do not want to see a Federal ICAC established.
