Chapter 10 - Debate
Declarations
of interests
In 1994 the Senate
adopted an order which required a senator to declare any relevant interest
which the senator had in the subject matter of a debate. This order formalised
a long-established practice whereby senators declared any interests during
debate, and such declarations are recorded in the Journals. (See also Chapter
6, Senators, under Pecuniary interests.) The
requirement to declare interests in debate and when voting was abolished in
2003, but senators may still declare interests.
