Description
<p class="speaker">Andrew McLachlan</p><p>I remind senators that after 4.30 pm on Thursday 14 September 2023 a division was called on the motion moved by Senator David Pocock relating to general business notice of motion No. 334, concerning lobbying rules. I understand it suits the convenience of the Senate for the deferred vote to be held now. The question is that the motion be agreed to.</p>-
- The majority voted against a [motion](https://www.openaustralia.org.au/senate/?id=2023-09-14.220.2) introduced by ACT Senator [David Pocock](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/act/david_pocock) (Independent), which means it failed. There was one rebellion, with Queensland Senator [Gerard Rennick](https://theyvoteforyou.org.au/people/senate/queensland/gerard_rennick) (Liberal) voting 'Yes' against the rest of his party.
- ### Motion text
- > *That, in the opinion of the Senate, the current lobbying rules are ineffective, do not meet public expectations and should be reformed to:*
- >
- > *(a) ensure all lobbyists are captured by a code of conduct;*
- >
- > *(b) provide effective deterrents and penalties for lobbyists who break the rules; and*
- >
- > *(c) allow Australians to know which lobbyists have been given sponsored passes to access the corridors of Parliament House.*
