I cannot believe how much Mr Hockey has disappointed me this year.
ASPIRING treasurer Joe Hockey has been caught breaching parliamentary rules after failing to declare a family interest for almost his entire 17-year career in federal parliament.
Mr Hockey declared the directorship of Steel Harbour Pty Ltd held by his wife, Melissa Babbage, in May last year among a series of "new positions" under spouse declaration rules.
But business records show Ms Babbage was appointed to the role in 1998.
Pecuniary interest register declarations are supposed to be made within a month.

Thats why we cant afford to have a clear majority of either major parties, we need a few minors or independents to bring some balance

Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos has defended his involvement in an infrastructure company linked to NSW Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid.
Speaking under parliamentary privilege on Thursday night, Senator Sinodinos also admitted he had been prompted to update his pecuniary interests register following media inquiries.
"I apologise unreservedly to the Senate for these oversights," he said in his adjournment debate speech.
"What you think is an innocent oversight can be looked on perhaps not as favourably by others."

Perhaps they should have financial penalties like they impose on us mortal beings for non compliance of the rules, $1 mil fine for failure to comply sounds good to me and should help repay all the money they have scammed from the people.
