Frequently asked

Policy Engagement, in plain terms.

Is this lobbying?

It is transparent policy engagement: consultation responses, position papers and evidence submission, all on the record and attributable.

Do you guarantee access to officials?

No, and treat anyone who does with suspicion. What we bring is process expertise and the ability to construct a submission worth reading.

What will you not do?

Anything undisclosed, anything presented as independent that is not, and any engagement that could not be described accurately in public.

In more depth

Submissions that get read.

See the whole practice

Evidence beats assertion

A response arguing commercial inconvenience is filed. One providing data on employment, investment or consumer outcome is read, and sometimes cited.

Consultation windows are short and unforgiving

Most run four to eight weeks and are not extended. Monitoring is unglamorous and it is the whole game.

Write for a policy reader

Officials are not your customers. Submissions written in marketing language signal that you have not understood the audience.
