MPs rush to declare FREE Foxtel subscriptions. We have to pay $30 – $100 pm!

Politicians from across the political spectrum have updated their register of interests in the past few weeks to disclose free Foxtel subscriptions donated by a lobby group for the pay TV industry.

Treasurer Scott Morrison updated his register on August 14, a week after Industry Minister Arthur Sinodinos updated his on August 7.

Labor’s Anthony Albanese and Greens MP Adam Bandt both declared their subscriptions on August 10. Crossbench senator Derryn Hinch is also believed to have updated his, but the online register has not yet reflected the change.

The subscriptions are worth around $1,600 per annum and are offered as a gift to new federal politicians by the Australian Subscription Television and Radio Association (ASTRA).
