This event on Wednesday 15 December was co-organised by the UWA Public Policy Institute, UWA Law School and Electoral Regulation Research Network.
Although lobbying is integral to democratic representation, there are concerns regarding the undue influence of professional lobbyists, which may ultimately lead to corrupt conduct by lobbyists and/or officials. This seminar explores the history and evolution of lobbying regulation in Australian federal and state jurisdictions. It also considers the effectiveness of lobbying regulation and makes recommendations for reform towards achieving transparency, political equality and fairness.
Associate Professor Yee-Fui Ng (Monash University) unpacked the history of Australian lobbying regulation and what changes are needed in this space to ensure a transparent and level-playing field. Chaired by Professor Sarah Murray, the seminar will provide a forum for interactive discussion about this important issue and how lobbying regulation can best ensure integrity in government.
Professor Sarah Murray from the UWA Law School then sat with A/Prof Ng to discuss the topic and take audience questions.
