I find myself agreeing with the caping of donations at $30000 but also the public register of lobbyists is a fantastic addition. Get big influence out of our politics!

Yeah that MP to Lobbyist pathway is a joke.

  1. Become MP
  2. Gain lots of political contacts
  3. Learn the ropes of parliment
  4. Gain lots of industry contacts
  5. Leave politics to be lobbyist
  6. Profit!

The alternative is #5 directorship of Fulton Hogan.
