Abstract

The Green Party has championed honest politics in New Zealand for many years. The party has always been committed to open and transparent government, and has taken steps in the past to advance this, including by proactively disclosing our MPs’ expenses and by fighting for electoral finance laws to be cleaned up. Greater transparency about lobbying is another step towards this goal of honest politics and more open government.
