I have to be honest, Mr President: it shouldn't be that difficult. We have just on 600 people on the lobbyists register, and I'm sure you've noticed that. That means there are 800 lobbyists slipping under the radar. Does MOPS or yourself intend to do something about this in the future and actually change the regulation so they're up to scratch? Even New Zealand has nothing to fear, and they're doing it. So, if the Kiwis can do it, I would like to know why we can't be honest with the Australian people and show them who's on the list?
