Transparency

When I was elected, I promised people in Wentworth that I would do politics differently, with more integrity and more transparency. More details on the policy changes I’m advocating for are here. You can see the questions I’ve asked in Parliamentary Question Time here.

Two of the areas I have been pushing for reform relate to transparency over lobbying and political donations.

 

Lobbying and Parliamentary Passes

I am a strong supporter of requiring parliamentarians to disclose who they are sponsoring Parliament House access passes to.

These passes provide access to almost all areas of the building and there are currently around 2,000 people who have them. There are legitimate reasons for holding these passes, but the public deserves to know who their elected representatives have granted access passes to.

I will continue to push for disclosure to be required by all parliamentarians. In the meantime, below is the list of people who I am currently sponsoring passes for.

 

Name Organisation
Andrew McKellar Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry
Lisa Button Community Refugee Sponsorship Australia
Vien Chew Community Refugee Sponsorship Australia
Alison Reeve Grattan Institute
Charlotte Rodrick Solar Citizens
Scott Farquhar Tech Council of Australia
Alex Engel-Mallon Climate Council

Political Donations 

I also believe we need more transparency over who is funding political parties and candidates.

From July 2026, the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Reform) Act 2025 will lower the donation disclosure threshold from $17,300 to $5,000 and introduce expedited disclosure, which I will be publishing here on my website.  We are liaising with the AEC to interpret the new rules and developing our technical requirements for reporting. We will update this page again in July 2026 when the new legislation comes into effect.
