Are there any exceptions to the rules covering the Register of Lobbyists?
In some situations a legal right exists for a person or organisation to put their case to the Government. Such rights are usually prescribed under statute and often include rights of appeal against government decisions. A lobbyist who advances the views of a client to government in such situations is not required to be registered. Registered lobbyists are still required to observe all of the rules contained in the Contact with Lobbyists Code when they represent clients in this type of situation.
