Australia Institute, NSW ICAC, and Centre for Public Integrity call for enhanced transparency, stronger oversight, and legislated lobbying code with penalties.

The Australia Institute suggests monthly disclosure of ministerial diaries, enhanced transparency, and stronger oversight to address concerns about lobbying in Australian politics. NSW ICAC recommends sweeping changes to federal lobbying rules, including the publication of lobbyists' names on the lobbyists' register and requiring more information about their activities. The Centre for Public Integrity urges for the lobbying code, which guides dealings with government representatives, to be legislated and encompass penalties for breaches.
