The Prime Minister says he won't be distracted by questions about Energy Minister's business declarations after Sky News revealed Angus Taylor failed to disclose his interest in a company he co-founded.

Sky News has revealed the Energy Minister had failed to declare that he was a director and 50 per cent shareholder of JRAT International Pty Ltd. Mr Taylor neglected to register his interests for two years while he was in office until September 2015, when he resigned as a director and transferred his stakes. Labor has also attracted attention on the issue, with two of its own MPs failing to list shares they hold on the official parliamentary interest register.
