Edward Willis: Law Professor says Michael Wood could have benefitted from his own political decisions with airport shares

Senior minister Michael Wood could face harsh legal backlash for not declaring he owned shares in Auckland Airport.

The Minister who holds the transport, immigration, and Auckland portfolios is in the process of selling the $13,000 worth of shares he's owned since his teens.

He declared ownership in January last year, having believed they'd been owned inside a trust.

Otago University Associate Law Professor, Edward Willis told Mike Hosking the Minister could have financially benefited from his own political decisions.

He says with his transport responsibilities there's a higher chance of a conflict of interest.
