A belief the Government's moves to ensure transparency within the lobbying sector is perfunctory. The Prime Minister's giving support to third-party lobbyists to establish a voluntary code of conduct. Private-sector and union reps are losing swipe-card access to Parliament. The Cabinet Manual will be updated, to clarify expectations for Ministers' conduct when choosing future employment. Lobbyist Holly Bennett told Mike Hosking it's not particularly difficult to get access to a Minister. “And that goes to the heart of why we need to have a look at this and actually make sure this industry is working for our democracy.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
