It takes very little effort to correctly fill in the Parliamentary Register of Member's Interests. So why does Tony Abbott continually mess up his form?

Here is the link to the current and updated Register of Member's Interests for Abbott, The Hon Tony, Member for Warringah.

In it he lists his spouse as holding an unspecified number of shares in General Gold Resources Inc. In 2007 he listed these shares as General Gold Resources NL.

However, this WA mining corporation changed its name in July 2002 to General Gold Resources Limited and a month later to Yilgarn Gold Limited. At some later date it again changed its name to Kairiki Energy Limited. The company is currently listed on the Australian Stock Exchange as a petroleum exploration, gold mining, exploration and investment company operating in the Phillipines.

As all shareholders would have been informed of these name changes, one has to wonder why Abbott has not changed the details recorded on his RMI form for at least the last four years.

Given his history in relation to the Register of Member's Interests this current inaccuracy isn't good enough.

Though at least we know that he is still turning up to some doorstop interviews in tailored suits he hasn't paid for.
