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.
