Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
Of course, that's fine. And there is a sub-question to that. You're more than welcome to answer it now or come back to us later on that one. But I just wanted to know what sanctions, if any, should follow for lobbyists who operate unrecognised, assuming that…

Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
I've got you. I'm going to come back a little bit on sanctions, if that's okay with you, because I know that you touched upon it previously when I asked you the question. But, what sanctions, if any, should basically follow the parliamentarians who are…

Great. Thank you very much. Chair, with regard to the rest of the questions, do you want me just to carry on as I'm going?

Inquiry into Lobbying: Evidence Session
Okay. And, just speaking of regulation, and whose responsibility is it, whose responsibility should it be? Should it be the lobbyist, the lobbied, or both?
