Lobbying transparency

The Revolving Door

Registered lobbyists who have previously held positions in the Australian Government — ministers, ministerial staff, senior public servants, and defence personnel — as declared on the Federal Register of Lobbyists (Attorney-General's Department).

This data is sourced directly from the public register at lobbyists.ag.gov.au. Listing here indicates a declared former government role, not any finding of impropriety. The Lobbying Code of Conduct imposes a two-year ban on ministers and parliamentary secretaries lobbying their former agency after leaving government.
