Introduction
Australians deserve better checks and balances on the post-ministerial activities of federal politicians
Lobbying regulations are inadequate
The Ministerial Standards should be updated to align with public perceptions of propriety, and expanded to all parliamentarians
Federal codes of conduct should be independently administered, and there should be salient sanctions for misconduct
Parliamentarians should be required to publish their diaries
There should be better transparency and accountability of lobbying activities
The Prime Minister should consider implementing ‘gardening leave’ for former ministers
The Commonwealth needs a national anti-corruption commission with teeth
These changes are needed to ensure lobbyists and elected officials act with integrity
