Lobbyists’ ‘revolving door’ poses risk to public health, study says

The revolving door between roles in the Australian government and lobbyists for the alcohol, food and gambling industries poses a risk to public health, a new study claims.

 A third of the people on the Australian government register of lobbyists stated they’d formerly been a government representative, with half of those whose careers were examined by the researchers working in government either as an MP or an adviser for more than 10 years before moving to lobbying.
