Various individuals and organisations undertake political lobbying on a variety of issues in the state of South Australia.

Description

Political lobbying is an activity by which organisations or individuals attempt to influence the Government of South Australia in its policy, regulation, and law-making. Since 1 December 2009, lobbyists commercially operating on behalf of third party interests are required to join a register and must also comply with a Code of Conduct. [1] The register was available to the public via the website of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, but from 1 July 2024 moved to the Attorney-General's Department. [2] The list includes the names of registered entities, their employed lobbyists, and their clients. [3]

Senior public servants turned lobbyists

Some lobbyists active in South Australia are former senior public servants. Former CEO of the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure Rod Hook, [4] as of 2018 lobbying as Rod Hook & Associates is an example of this. [5] [6]

Resources and energy sector lobbyists

During the Rann government and later the Weatherill government (post 2011), significant efforts were made to encourage mineral and energy resource development in South Australia. Government initiatives were welcomed by the private sector, many of which engaged third party lobbyists to further their objectives. Some lobbyists represent these sectors as part of a broader portfolio of interests (Bespoke Approach, for example) [ citation needed ] while others such as Barker Wentworth are more specialised. [ citation needed ] Crosby Textor is another high profile international lobbying firm active in this area in SA. [7]

Marathon Resources compensation claim

Exploration company Marathon Resources successfully lobbied the South Australian government for compensation after a ban on mining was introduced in the Arkaroola Protection Area, where the company had previously been exploring for uranium. In 2011, the company had three former Labor ministers, a former state Liberal MP and a former federal Liberal minister lobbying for the company or sitting on its board. The company's lobbyists included ALP lobbyist John Quirke, former Liberal MP Graham Gunn, and the firm Bespoke Approach (which is composed of Nick Bolkus, Alexander Downer and Ian Smith). Chris Schacht was sitting on the company's board during the compensation drive. [8] In 2012, the company was paid $5 million in compensation by the Government of South Australia. [9]
