Re the voluntary code of conduct. Been there before and before that with so many such groups. But it's not like it's not obvious - it's like an open secret. Right in our faces. For everyday NZrs to act they/we have to choose to do that - and we need support from influential people who do take this seriously and are prepared to prepare the best everyday NZrs for the fight back.
Are current MP’s beholden to the moneyed classes? Is that why they cannot act? Should we aim for legislation to control political donations first? Maybe this would help break the circuit.

Yet it was former Labour minister Kris Faafoi who went straight from being a minister to being a lobbyist. The issue is across all parties.
