During question time, the Treasurer implied that I hold shares in BBOZ. I can inform the House that on Monday I submitted a statement of declaration that I had removed those shares, but it has not been published. For the sake of clarity, I want to read out this statement headed 'Deletion shareholdings BBOZ'. It says: 'I purchased these shares before market turmoil associated with COVID, to hedge against such a black swan event. I could have sold them at a profit at the time, but as I was part of the decision-making program that meant they reached their peak, namely JobKeeper, I chose to hold onto them, not secure a profit and maintain my integrity.
