Mr Speaker, my question relates to the Register of Members' Interests, which is established by resolution of the House. There are reports in the media today regarding the member for Gellibrand and, in particular, I refer to an article on page 3 of today's Age newspaper indicating that the member has additional matters of pecuniary interest that do not appear to be listed on the Register of Members' Interests.

Could you, Mr Speaker, investigate whether it is a requirement that these matters be listed on the register and, if so, why they have not been listed to date?

These matters are best dealt with by the committee that now covers the Register of Members' Interests and I will refer the matter raised with me to that committee for its consideration.
