Lobbying Code of Conduct and Register of Lobbyists 7th Octiober 2010 In formulating rules to regulate lobbying, the challenge is to address its problems and dangers without inappropriately hampering legitimate political freedoms. Lobbying helps the represented to be heard. In its purest form, it enables relevant information and arguments to be marshalled and presented in such a way as to assist governments to reach decisions in the best interest of the community. In a time-poor and information rich world this can be of real help to government. It must also be remembered that lobbying is not confined to making representations for people seeking financial advantages or preference from government. It is conducted on a wide range of issues of policy including issues affecting all and for a wide range of people including the most disadvantaged in our community. |
