Senator Siewert
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Education, Science and Training, upon notice, on 24 March 2006:
With reference to the appointment of Australia’s Chief Scientist, Dr Jim Peacock:
(1) Is the Minister aware that Dr Peacock has a stake in patents on some aspects of crop control and sterility technology.
(2) Will the Minister table details of any such patents; if not, why not.
(3) Is the Minister concerned about the appearance or reality of a conflict of interest in the Chief Scientist having a commercial stake in some of the policy areas in which he is responsible for advising the Government; if not, why not.
Senator Vanstone (Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs)
—The Minister for Education, Science and Training has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question:
(1) Yes.
(2) CSIRO patents are public information which can be researched by any IP attorney.
(3) No. The Chief Scientist’s engagement under the Deed of Appointment is subject to, and requires compliance with strict guidelines on the management of conflict of interest. It requires him to lodge annually with the Department a Record of Private Interest Statement of his pecuniary (and other personal) interests and to keep that information updated in the interim.
