Our study, published today, found about half of people involved in tobacco lobbying held positions in Australian governments before or after working for the tobacco industry.

Key Points: 
  • Our study, published today, found about half of people involved in tobacco lobbying held positions in Australian governments before or after working for the tobacco industry.
  • This “revolving door” between tobacco lobbyists and government is a key political lobbying mechanism to influence public health policy.

What we did and what we found

    • We gathered information from sources including federal, state and territory government lobbyist registers, social networking platform LinkedIn, and Australian news media.
    • We identified 56 lobbyists representing tobacco companies (via lobbyist registers and archives) and another 73 current and former in-house tobacco lobbyists (via other means).
    • Senior government roles included members of parliament, senators, chief or deputy chiefs of staff, and senior ministerial advisors.

Why is this a worry?

    • It’s a tactic common in the gambling, alcohol and food industries.

Out of sight

    • The movement of key people between government and tobacco industry roles without adequate transparency provides potential opportunities to influence policymaking out of sight.
    • In Australia, tobacco industry interference tactics largely hinge on the industry’s new product pipeline – e-cigarettes (vaping products).
    • However, the “revolving door” is important for tobacco companies as it provides opportunities to influence policymaking out of public sight.

What can we do about it?

    • Greater public disclosure There needs to be more extensive public disclosure of all tobacco company employees and lobbyists – acting directly or via third-party allies.
    • This information should be added to existing government registers, and also include detailed updates of activities and meetings 2.
    • Enforce ‘cooling off’ periods We need to extend and enforce “cooling off” periods – the minimum time required between switching from public to the private sector.
    • But our study showed these cooling off periods are not being enforced, and there are no serious sanctions.
