SIGN THE PETITION
OVERHAUL OUR DODGY LOBBYING LAWS
In Australia, big business groups are using professional lobbying to sway decision makers to serve their own interests, rather than what’s best for the broader community.
We need stronger regulations on professional lobbying, with proper enforcement, to make our democracy more transparent and fair.
A recent Senate Inquiry looking into access to Parliament House by lobbyists received over three hundred submissions calling for the government to strengthen our lobbying laws.
Unfortunately, the committee chose to sit on their hands, only recommending yet another review, rather than any of the ready-to-go solutions on the table.
How much of a say you have in our democracy shouldn’t depend on whether you can afford to pay a professional lobbyist. A comprehensive overhaul of our lobbying laws is required to make sure community members have the same influence on decision makers as big business.
By signing this petition, you can show decision makers that the community demands wholesale reforms to political lobbying laws. Tinkering around the edges of a dodgy system is not good enough.
