Yesterday the Sydney Morning Herald published and article by investigations editor, Anne Davies, into state
and federal governments' staff and politicians moving into the gas industry and senior
staff from gas companies moving into advising roles for ministers. Click here
When I travelled in Queensland this was an issue that was brought up
often. It is commonly believed that the gas companies in Queensland wrote the
legislation, handed it to the government and they adopted it. Politicians and
government staff know the loopholes and how to get legislation through. The
rewards offered are staggering, according to one person I met who had been
approached by a mining company. If you have no ethics it’s hard to refuse, but
they did.
