for\nall parties concerned, enhance transparency, foster a culture of integrity and create mechanisms for effective\nimplementation, compliance and review.20\nThe most significant criticisms of the regulation of lobbying in Australia are that the regulatory systems:\n• only include lobbyists who act for third-party clients in their registration systems, therefore excluding\nlobbyists working as employees for corporations or other in-house lobbyists\n• exclude non-profit entities constituted to represent the interests of their members\n• do not provide for adequate disclosure of the subject matter, purpose, timing, and parties involved in\nlobbying communications, and\n• have non-existent or weak enforcement mechanisms.\n  Source:

submission from Mr Stephen Skehill, Ethics and Integrity Advisor, on\nbalance favoured the moving of the administration of the Register from the Clerk to the Integrity Commission\n“to reinforce the importance of lobbyist regulation as an important element in the broader network of integrity\nassurance.”42\nThe Government’s submission to that inquiry supported the continuation of the administration of the Scheme\nby the Clerk, emphasising a focus on preventative and educative role in fostering ethical practices.43\nCorrespondence from the ACT Integrity Commissioner to the Speaker in response to a request for his views\non issues raised in that inquiry argued against a shift in responsibilities to the Commission, on the grounds of\nkeeping separate core functions of the

organisation who conducts lobbying activities on behalf of a third-party, or\nwhose employees or other personnel conduct lobbying activities on behalf of a third-party, where\nsuch lobbying activities are ordinarily carried out in the expectation of receiving direct or indirect\nfinancial reward or other valuable consideration whether or not the amount thereof is ascertainable\nat the time such

friends,\nfamily members or those in positions of power, without any tangible benefit for the decision-maker\npersonally.15\nPut simply, lobbying may lead to misconduct if it sways public officials to decide issues for reasons other\nthan merit, or it leads to the dishonest or partial exercise of public officials’ functions, in breach of public\ntrust.16\nLobbying is a legitimate activity and an important part of the democratic process, but it must be conducted in\naccordance with public expectations of transparency, integrity, and honesty.17\nLobbying and influence activities play a central role in shaping public policies, and are legitimate\nacts of political participation.\n  Source: `reviews/ACT-Integrity-Commission-Lobbying-Discussion-Paper.pdf
