'Doesn't pass the pub test': Wong attacks Bishop over Palladium | MaxKoslowski

“I am obviously aware of the obligations of the ministerial guidelines and I am entirely confident that I am and will remain compliant with them,” Julie Bishop said.The claims come as Parliament prepares to debate a bill from crossbench senator Rex Patrick for an inquiry into whether the ministerial code of conduct effectively regulates lobbying.

"Ms Bishop has been appointed to the board of a company that profited under decisions made while she was foreign minister. The government's statement of ministerial standards declares that ministers must "not lobby, advocate or have business meetings with members of the government, parliament, public service or defence force on any matters on which they have had dealings as minister in their last 18 months in office". That restriction is in place for 18 months after departure.

"We've long admired her work as a minister toward revolutionising the sector, and we're delighted to be her first private sector directorship," executive chairman Kim Bredhauer said.
