Commission hosts public forum on lobbying and corruption risks

The Commission is examining the integrity risks associated with lobbying and influencing activity in South Australian public administration. Along with this we are considering the adequacy of the current regulatory scheme created by the Lobbyists Act 2015 (SA).

As part of this project the Commission is holding a public forum on Thursday, 9 May 2024 from 10am – 12 noon. The event will be live-streamed, with opportunities for attendees to ask questions of the panel.

The forum will be a panel discussion facilitated by Jodeen Carney, Commissioner of Equal Opportunity SA. The expert panel will be comprised of:

  • Hon Christopher Pyne (Pyne and Partners)
  • Associate Professor Dr Yee-Fui Ng (Monash University)
  • Deputy Commissioner David Wolf (Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission, Victoria)
  • Dr Catherine Williams (Executive Director, Centre for Public Integrity)
  • Mr David Washington (Solstice Media)
  • Mr Ian Horne (Board Member, Tourism SA)

Questions to the panel can be posed through the Slido app via the QR code below.

The forum will not be looking at any allegations or suggestions   of wrongdoing by anyone. Rather, it will be a forward looking exercise, concerned with matters of policy arising from our growing understanding of the integrity risks associated with lobbying.
