Are the Government's lobbying reforms going far enough?

The Front Page - Podcast tekijän mukaan NZ Herald

The relationship between our politicians and the lobbyists and donors looking to sway their minds has been thrust into the spotlight recently. Labour MP Stuart Nash was sacked as a Minister over revelations he had sent confidential Cabinet information to donors, while an investigation by RNZ’s Guyon Espiner has revealed how deep the politician – lobbyist relationship goes. Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has responded with some early changes, but what more needs to be done – and are our politicians motivated enough to change the rules? Today, Guyon Espiner joins Georgina Campbell (On the Tiles - Local Edition) on The Front Page to share what he learned from his investigation.
