Information About

Geoff Prosser




politician, has been a Liberal member of the
Australian House Of Representatives since July 1987, representing the Division Of Forrest , Western Australia . He was born in Bunbury , Western Australia , and was a self-employed businessman and company director before entering politics. He was a member of the Bunbury City Council 1979-85.

Prosser was a member of the Opposition Shadow Ministry 1990-96 and was Minister for Small Business and Consumer Affairs 1996-97.

On the basis of incoming Liberal prime minister John Howard's 1996 Guide on Key Elements of Ministerial Behaviour Geoff Prosser had to resign because of improper business dealings. He continued to be a major retail landlord, and this clearly conflicted with his responsibilities as Minister for Small Business and Consumer Affairs.

Prosser is believed to be one of the wealthiest politicians in Federal Parliament, if not the wealthiest. 1

On Saturday, 3 March , 2007 The Australian Newspaper published allegations 2 made by former Western Australia Premier Brian Burke that Prosser was a client of his and that Prosser had paid for lobbying services. The paper also alleged that Prosser was recently seen dining with Julian Grill , Burke's business partner.

Prosser will retire at the 2007 Federal Election .3
