Tackling Lobbying in NSW Politics

Please sign our petition below to help tackle the influence of lobbyists in NSW Politics. Together, we can protect our democracy.  


Political decisions should be made in the interests of communities, not for lobbyists working on behalf of vested interests like property developers and the gambling industry.

The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) recommended significant lobbying reforms in 2021 to help address corruption risks and limit the influence of corporate lobbyists on political decision-makers.

Despite having more than two years to enact changes, the NSW Labor Government has not introduced laws to curb the unreasonable influence of lobbying in NSW. We've seen the impacts of this failure, with community-led planning decisions undermined following corporate lobbying on behalf of private developers.

Influence like this undermines democratic processes and brings into question the integrity of our political system. We need to reform lobbying laws to protect our democracy.

That’s why I’ve introduced the Greens bill to restrict the power of lobbyists in NSW Parliament and to implement the long-overdue ICAC recommendations. You can help keep the pressure on the NSW Labor Government to act by adding your name to the petition below. 

To Premier Chris Minns:

We call on you to clean up NSW politics and restrict the unreasonable influence of lobbyists in NSW.

We ask the Government to fully implement the ICAC recommendations from Operation Eclipse, to limit lobbying in NSW and protect our democracy. 

 

Sign our petition calling on the NSW Labor Government to clean up NSW politics by restricting the power of corporate lobbyists.
