Wow, the Liberal part are just as untrustworthy.

Ther is an ubandance of videos of honest Tony on youtube.Acting like he is anything different than Gillard, you are really trying hard to ignore the truth.

Wait till a year after they win the election and can no longer blame Labour for the state of the country, then you will see the same media stories with a different parties name and leader to blame.

Liberal voters will be like current Labour voters,feeling sheepish at who they voted for.

News Top Liberal Arthur Sinodinos breached rules by: EXCLUSIVE by SImon Benson and Patrick Lion From...The Daily Telegraph March 01, 2013 12:00AMApologies ... Arthur Sinodinos. Source: The Sunday Telegraph

SENIOR Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos has been caught breaching parliamentary rules by failing to declare six company directorships during his 15 months in the upper house.

The former chief-of-staff to ex-prime minister John Howard last night admitted that his register of pecuniary interests contained the significant omissions after inquiries by The Daily Telegraph about the anomalies.

"I apologise unreservedly to the senate and to my party colleagues for these oversights," he said.

"I believe at no stage were there any matters arising from these directorships which may have occasioned a conflict of interest."

Company searches revealed Senator Sinodinos failed to declare five current directorships, including with an aged healthcare firm whose directors include former Liberal minister Santo Santoro, who quit in disgrace over omissions from his parliamentary register.

Senator Sinodinos also failed to declare a position with Sydney-based firm Firestick ICT Pty Ltd and with Liberal Party-linked outfits Bunori Pty Ltd, Liberal Properties Ltd and Liberal Asset Management (Custodians) Ltd.

It can also be revealed he did not declare a year-long former directorship with not-for-profit business leadership group, The Octant Foundation, which ended late last year.

The revelations come after the senator's business interests came into focus this week when he backed away from claiming a potential multi-million-dollar stake in an infrastructure company after it was linked to Labor powerbroker Eddie Obeid. Senator Sinodinos is considered a rising star and almost certain to win a ministerial position in an Abbott government.

One of his fellow directors at Sydney healthcare company Move2Live is Mr Santoro, a registered lobbyist and former aged care minister.

It was reported at the time Senator Sinodinos, as Mr Howard's chief-of-staff, had quizzed Mr Santoro a year before the scandal over his interests.

Senator Sinodinos may now face a privileges committee inquiry over the omissions, with punishments for knowingly providing incorrect information to parliament including jail or fines.

He told the senate he would resign the unpaid directorship of the health business, Move2Live.

He said would also resign from the Firestick ICT position, blaming a mix-up after he recently resigned from a linked firm, Aboriginal Employment Strategy, but not its related IT firm.

"I am disappointed it took a journalist to remind me of these directorships," he said.

Senator Sinodinos had updated his register only three days ago.

Trust ?    Not a hope in 'ell  

[silverfaun]

in his other gig (sinodinis) he appears to be involved with the obeid family :^O  the bad pennies on the other side emerge from the bushes.

.

What a disgusting slur. You know he was a non profit director, no money was ever in the equation.  

The Labor party & the rotten to the core unions  spawned Obeid, Tropodi, Keneally & the rest of the crims, Federal Labor are also involved in the Obeid web of money & lies so trying to include an upstanding person like Sinodonis is a disgusting bow to draw but expect nothing else from you & the rest of the Luvvies. 

The west experiment for Gillard is going to be a set piece, no questions will be asked without preview, no mall strolls will be included so we can live in hope that 2GB will show her & her party up for what they are.

The last time she was in the West was last lelctiion & she made 4 promises to the voters & guess what?? she never even tried to live up to them, never kept any of them because she lied AGAIN to the voters.

She treated them like fools & they haven't forgotten it.

[lakeland27]

yeah sure, he's as honest as they come 'i forget about all of those companies i was a director or board member of'' 😛  if he is telling the truth he's a bit of a dill isn't he ? FORGOT?? :^O

[silverfaun]

You are on the wrong board, the mean spirited, low rent board is elsewhere :^O

[lakeland27]

i know it isn't the telegraph comments page, its just that the tables are turned. thanks for telling me though. i guess only a resident would know those things.. any more words of wisdom from the cesspool ?

Abbott backs 'forgetful' senator Arthur Sinodinos PATRICK LION - NATIONAL POLITICAL REPORTER News Limited Network March 02, 2013 12:00AM  Top Liberal breached rules SENIOR Liberal senator Arthur Sinodinos caught breaching the parliamentar...

LIBERAL Senator Arthur Sinodinos could face a senate inquiry over his failure to declare company directorships, including a business venture with disgraced former minister Santo Santoro.

The Gillard government is "seriously considering" its options of referring the former chief-of-staff to prime minister John Howard to the Senate's powerful privelges committee when parliament returns later this month.

The threat emerged yesterday as Opposition Leader Tony Abbott was forced to defend his parliamentary secretary over the breaches, amid Labor calls to sack him from the posting.

Mr Abbott claimed the breaches were not as serious as other cases and all interests had now been recorded.

"There is a world of difference between exploiting an official position for personal gain and inadvertently overlooking to declare a couple of not-for-profit directorships," he said.

But the revelations have embarrassed the Coalition, given they also include a start-up healthcare business venture with Mr Santoro, the former Howard government minister who resigned in 2007 over undeclared share trades.

Senator Sinodinos insisted they were innocent mistakes in the Senate on Thursday night after News Ltd inquired as to why he had failed to declare directorships in six companies.

A seventh company Senator Sinodinos had declared earlier this week was also recorded months too late.

Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said Mr Abbott should apply the same standard to Senator Sinodinos.

"Tony Abbott needs to take action right now against Senator Sinodinos," he said.

"Before being elected to the Senate in 2011, Mr Sinodinos was a director of AWH, which ICAC has heard is an Obeid-related company.
In early 2012 the NSW Coalition government awarded AWH a 25-year water infrastructure deal without any tenders. Corporate records show that Mr Sinodinos was a director of AWH from November 2008 until November 2011. On Wednesday, apparently to distance himself from AWH, the senator announced he would forgo his 5 per cent shareholding to which he was entitled following his time as chairman, worth up to $3.75 million.
These shares were held on his behalf in a ''gentleman's agreement'' by AWH boss and major shareholder Nick di Girolamo, who the Herald last year revealed was a close friend of the Obeid family.
Mr Sinodinos, who is the shadow parliamentary secretary to the federal Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, denied last night he had at any time asked that the shares ''be held secretly on my behalf''.

He said he was ''shocked and disappointed'' to discover AWH was ''financially linked to the Obeid family''.
He said that he became aware that Mr Obeid's youngest son Eddie jnr was employed by AWH after he himself joined. ''I had no reason to regard his presence in the company as signifying some greater involvement by the Obeid family in AWH.''
AWH made a $30,000 donation to the NSW Liberals while Mr Sinodinos was the state party treasurer but last night he said he did not recollect the donations being discussed at a board level.

yeh, who do you trust.    not them  

[lakeland27]

so he was the NSW lib party treasurer and donates funds to the state liberals from a company board he's chairman of . he works with eddie obeid jnr, and later forgets all of this  ?

AWH increased in value ($ wise) by a considerable amount in that time and he has a Mate looking after his take for him. one doesn't do those things if they are not trying top decieve or evade tax.
