Former Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has used social media to publish legal advice which suggests that his beneficial interest in several child care centres is not in breach of the Constitution. Dutton said he was advised by former solicitor-general David Bennett that he is eligible to be in parliament, and noted that Guy Reynolds SC has also previously advised that he is not in breach of section 44 of Constitution. Bennett has also provided Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull with advice regarding section 44 in the past.
