I appreciate that, Mr. Fisher. The scrutiny is intense. You have 120 days to comply from the start, and if as a minister you have stocks, you have to sell them. If your life partner has stocks, you have to sell them. You can only hold mutual funds, and you have to make sure that there's no operational connection between you and any businesses or non-profit associations that you would have operated at some point.
In my case, it was not just to make sure that everything was compliant with the act in the first 120 days. When you're a minister, compliance isn't an end point; it's a fluid process. What's important to note is that I have made the decision, rightly, to recuse myself on appointments and nominations. I've always been very careful to make sure that I respect the rules that are set up by the Ethics Commissioner, and he himself has said that I followed the rules, and there's no need to look into my business affairs.
