Responding to the ABC's questions about why the Airbnb had not been declared, Mr Entsch said it was because, "it was declared under YLE Enterprises" as it was "run by YLE Enterprises". Mr Entsch previously declared Ms Entsch's only substantial sources of income as being contracting and consulting and that she is a director of YLE Enterprises, a company involved in "contracting and consulting". The Airbnb, which requires a minimum two-night stay, is located at the Entsch's cattle farm at Malanda, west of Cairns, features Ms Entsch as the host and lists more than 260 five-star reviews.
