Office of Registrar
The office of Registrar of Pecuniary and Other Specified Interests of Members of
Parliament is held by the Deputy Clerk or a person appointed by the Clerk, with the

Functions of Registrar
The functions of the Registrar are to
(a) compile and maintain the register:
(b) provide advice and guidance to members in connection with their obligations
under this Appendix:
(c) receive and determine requests for an inquiry under clause 16, and, if the

15
(1)
Auditor-Generals review
The Registrar must supply to the Controller and Auditor-General a copy of every return
within 21 days of the date by which all returns are due. The Registrar may, as the
Registrar thinks fit, supply to the Auditor-General any other information relating to a
return.
The Auditor-General will review the returns provided under subclause (1) as soon as is
reasonably practicable, and will advise the Registrar of any matters arising from the
review.

Registrars inquiry
A member who has reasonable grounds to believe that another member has not
complied with his or her obligations to make a return may request that the Registrar
conduct an inquiry into the matter.
The request must be in writing, signed, and set out
(a) the specific matter that the member believes to be a failure to comply, and
(b) the reasonable grounds for that belief.
A member who makes a request for an inquiry under this clause must, as soon as
reasonably practicable, forward a copy of the request to the member who is the subject
of the request.
On receiving a request, the Registrar conducts a preliminary review of the request to
determine if, in the Registrars opinion, an inquiry is warranted. In making a
determination under this subclause, the Registrar takes account of the degree of
importance of the matter under inquiry, and whether the matter
(a) may involve a breach of the obligations to make a return:
(b) is technical or trivial.
On determining whether an inquiry is warranted, the Registrar must inform the member
who made the request of this determination, and must also inform the member who was
the subject of the request.
If the Registrar determines that an inquiry is warranted, the Registrar conducts an
inquiry.
In conducting the inquiry, the Registrar
(a) must invite the member who is the subject of the inquiry to provide a response
to the matter under inquiry within 10 working days (provided that the Registrar
72

and the member may agree on a different period of time for the members
response):
(b) may seek further information from the member who made the request for an
inquiry, from the member who is the subject of the inquiry, and from any other
person that the Registrar considers may have relevant information:
(c) may seek assistance or advice from the Auditor-General or from any other
person, as the Registrar sees fit:
(d) may disclose any return or returns and information relevant to the inquiry to a
person providing assistance or advice under paragraph (c).
The Registrar may,
(a) if the Registrar considers that the matter under inquiry does not involve a breach
of the obligations to make a return, or is so minor as not to warrant the further
attention of the House, determine that no further action is required:
(b) if the Registrar considers that the matter under inquiry involves an inadvertent or
minor breach of the obligations to make a return, advise the member who is the
subject of the inquiry to submit an amendment to the members return or returns
to remedy the breach:
(c) determine that the matter under inquiry involves a question of privilege, and
report this to the House at the first opportunity:
(d) report to the House on any other matter that may warrant the further attention of
the House.
Any report of the Registrar is presented by the Speaker to the House and published
under the authority of the House.
Information on Registrars inquiry
A request under clause 16 and all information relating to the Registrars consideration
of that request are confidential until the Registrar determines whether to conduct an
inquiry in respect of the request.
After determining whether an inquiry is warranted under clause 16, and after informing
members under clause 16(5), the Registrar may, at the Registrars discretion, disclose
any or all of the following information:
(a) the name of the member who made the request:
(b) the date on which the request was received:
(c) the name of the member who was the subject of the request:
(d) the particular requirement or requirements in this Appendix to which the request
relates.
The proceedings of the conduct of an inquiry are strictly confidential, subject to clause
16(7) and (8).
All returns and information disclosed to a person by the Registrar under clause 16(7)(d)
are confidential and must be returned to the Registrar or destroyed when that persons
involvement in the inquiry is concluded.
If the Registrar completes an inquiry under clause 16 without making a report to the
House, the Registrar
(a) must communicate the result of the inquiry to the member who requested the
inquiry and the member who was the subject of the inquiry:
(b) publishes the result of the inquiry to the Parliament website.
If the Registrar reports to the House that the matter under inquiry involves a question of
privilege, the Registrar
(a) must, before reporting to the House, inform the member that is the subject of the
inquiry that it is intended to do so, and
(b) includes in the report any information relating to the inquiry that the Registrar
considers is necessary to inform the House of the matter, and
(c) forwards to the Privileges Committee any information relating to the inquiry that

Errors or omissions
Any member who becomes aware of an error or omission in any return previously
made by that member must advise the Registrar of that error or omission as soon as
practicable after becoming aware of it.
The Registrar may, at the Registrars own discretion, publish amendments on a website
to correct errors or omissions advised under subclause (1).
Nothing in this Appendix requires members to advise the Registrar of changes to their
interests that have occurred since the effective date of their last return.
