Energy Minister under pressure over undeclared business interests | Sky News Australia

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.

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.

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

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.

Solar energy is on the rise, but are we ready?While Canberra is debating whether we should increase our uptake of renewables, homeowners, businesses and state governments are voting with their feet. But what do increasing levels of rooftop and large scale solar mean for the grid? Ready. It is long overdue. LOL at the photo of the nice white roofs (very sensible) that are then covered with almost black solar panels (very stupid), & that highlights the flaw in the mass use of solar power, ALBEDO. There is not much on land other than a new road that converts so much sunlight to heat. No we are not ready due to the government and their coal mining bosses ..

Controversial coal-gas tech, banned in Queensland, holds hope for SA townA controversial underground coal gasification project could tender for an SA Government electricity supply contract formerly held by a renewable energy project. Australia just messing around with trying to find a reliable source of electrical power from coal, solar etc etc. The one true source of clean and totally reliable power is nuclear electrical generation. One day Australians may come to realise that. pjournomartin Carbon monoxide CO is poisonous. This was the main component of 'town - gas' coming from a cokery. It was replaced by natural gas, CH4. UCG is turning back the clock. Shame the Port Augusta solar plant did not get finance. Government full of energy agnostics

Britain records first coal-free week since the Victorian eraBritain hasn't used any coal-powered energy since May 2 — a record for the country, helped by investment in renewables. Wow, it's almost like we don't actually need coal.. ..how surprising. 😑 They also have nuclear power. If they want to show they don’t need coal shut it down completely. Don’t mention gas and nuclear😊
