The regulation of lobbying access and influence in NSW
NCOSS recently made a submission to the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) investigation into the regulation of lobbying access and influence in NSW. This investigation presents an opportunity to improve the transparency and fairness of lobbying activities and decision-making processes in NSW. In recognition of the disparity between the resources available for NGOs and community groups for advocating and lobbying, and those available to many industries and professional lobbyists, NCOSS supports an approach that ensures fairness, transparency and a level playing field for all who seek to influence government.
