Every federal Member of Parliament and Senator can sponsor people to hold parliamentary passes, giving them privileged 24/7 all areas access to Parliament House. Right now, there’s no public record of who those people are or who gave them a pass. As the Department of Parliamentary Services has refused multiple requests to set up a public register of sponsored pass holders, I have set up an independent, voluntary new pass disclosure website. By sending an email, you’re encouraging your representatives to voluntarily disclose this information so it can be included in this new Parliamentary Pass Register, website to shine a light on who has special access to Parliament.
Your message will:
Show MPs and Senators that Australians care about integrity in politics.
Increase public pressure on representatives to disclose voluntarily.
Help build a culture of accountability where transparency is the norm.
