HENDERSON Legislative Council Lobbyists The Hon. L.A. HENDERSON (15:01): My question is to the Attorney-General on the topic of lobbyists. Can the Attorney-General explain what safeguards are in place to prevent unregistered lobbying of ministers and their staff to protect the integrity and transparency of government decision-making processes? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Lobbyists The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:02): I thank the member for her question. We have legislation that regulates lobbyists' activity. To my memory we have a register of lobbyists who are defined as engaging in lobbying activity under the act and are required to be registered and have an obligation to disclose their lobbying activities in the circumstances.
