Description: The Australian lobbying industry has significant, but largely secretive, influence on government decisionmaking. Only occasionally does the media and the public find out about how lobbyists operate, who they represent and who they try to persuade. In this book John Warhurst describes the growth of this industry in recent years. He looks at the influence of lobbyists and their positive and negative roles in the political system.
