Darren Jeffrey Chester is an Australian politician who is the deputy leader of the National Party of Australia. He has been the member of parliament (MP) for the Victorian division of Gippsland since 2008. Chester had served as the Minister for Veterans' Affairs and the Minister for Defence Personnel between March 2018 and July 2021 in the Turnbull and Morrison governments. He was also Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Centenary of ANZAC until May 2019.
Roles this person held, from the public record. Dates are the disclosed floor: the span a source states (e.g. the first to last diary meeting hosted under a portfolio), not necessarily the full term.
The Commonwealth has no mandatory ministerial-diary scheme (unlike NSW, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT, which compel state ministers to publish who they meet).
We have not yet confirmed whether this politician voluntarily publishes a diary. We are checking federal members over time; this status updates as coverage grows.
Shareholdings, directorships and organisational memberships from the Register of Members' Interests. Where a company or organisation also appears in our graph as a donor or federal contractor, that overlap is flagged, a fact about disclosed records to scrutinise, not a finding of wrongdoing.
