Ending the ‘Jobs for Mates’ Culture with Dr Sophie Scamps [Webinar]

Ending the ‘Jobs for Mates’ Culture with Dr Sophie Scamps [Webinar]

Restoring trust and integrity in Australia’s democracy was a key issue in 2022 federal election. In March, independent MP Dr Sophie Scamps introduced a new bill designed to end the ‘jobs for mates’ culture in federal politics. The bill seeks to legislate a transparent and independent process for major government public appointments, setting a gold standard for appointments.

This was recorded on Wednesday 17th May 2023 and things may have changed since recording.
