The SAS Group welcomes the decision by the Queensland Government to undertake the Integrity and Accountability in Queensland Review (the Review). This response focuses specifically on the issues contained in the Review which relate to lobbying.

Lessons learnt in those jurisdictions are worthy of consideration in the context of the Queensland Review.
