Description

Lobbyocracy.org.au is a campaign run by the Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice against the excessive power that is wielded by a wealthy few through political donations.

Lobbyocracy is a collaborative project run on wiki-based software to track the donations made to political parties and favours done for those in power whether it is the corporate/government revolving door, favourable development applications or outright corruption. The site exposes the dodgy back room deals and shows how money is siphoned through front groups to side step accountability.

The ACDJ uses the Lobbyocracy site to campaign for more open and transparent government with fewer donations to political parties, the exposure of front groups, more accurate and timely disclosures of donations and limits on electoral expenditure.
