Big Money and Politics

Australia’s future climate policy is being thrashed out this week as the Federal Liberal and National parties try to reach a deal. As business groups and other stakeholders add their voices to the debate, can our political leaders deliver a plan that will satisfy? And political transparency has been thrust into the spotlight after the sudden resignation of NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian. Now a new documentary ‘Big Deal’, directed by Craig Reucassel examines Australia’s billion-dollar political lobbying industry. Is our democracy for sale and what can be done to ensure the political integrity of Australia’s elected representatives? Panellists: Craig Reucassel, Writer, director and comedian; Kate Roffey, Business Leader; Andrew Bragg, Liberal Senator for NSW; Mark Dreyfus, Shadow Attorney-General; and Helen Haines, Independent Member for Indi.
