Greens to announce plan for Victorian lobbyist register

The Victorian Greens will today announce an election commitment to establish a lobbyist register and ban political donations from “big corporate money”.

These corporations don’t hand over thousands of dollars out of the goodness of their hearts. They expect something in return, and it’s everyday Victorians who end up paying the price.

They’ve both dealt with male-dominated industries with cultures that are pretty rough and challenging for women, and so they’re perfect people to lead that cultural journey.
