The register of members’ interests is a required listing of all properties, trusts, gifts as well as Union and party affiliations by members of Parliament. Newly elected Katter’s Australian Party Member Nick Damatto may be the first MP ever to list Bitcoin among his assets.
From the other side of the aisle, Labor MP Bart Mellish also declared a Bitcoin account among his assets in the registry.
