What is the Definition of a Lobbyist under the legislation?
The Lobbyists Registration Act defines three categories of lobbyists: • Consultant lobbyists paid to lobby on behalf of a client, e.g. government relations consultants, lawyers, accountants or other professionals who provide lobbying services for their clients. • In-house lobbyists employed by persons (including corporations) and partnerships that carry on commercial activities for financial gain. • In-house lobbyists employed by non-commercial organizations such as advocacy groups, and industry, professional and charitable organizations.
