Liberal Party MP David Coleman ineligible to sit in parliament?
A company co-founded and co-owned by a federal Coalition MP David Coleman was awarded a $100,000 grant by the Department of Defence just before the 2019 federal election.
Before that election, Coleman also signed a declaration to the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC), stating there was nothing that could disqualify from eligibility as an election candidate even though the constitution and the AEC form state clearly that anyone in receipt of federal government money may be disqualified from sitting in Parliament.
Apart from Coleman’s possible false declaration to the AEC and his eligibility to sit in parliament, the one-year grant raises serious questions around breaches of ministerial and parliamentary standards.
