Closed A Royal Commission to review the awarding of Government contracts

Closed on

With recent contracts being awarded to companies with board members or consultants who are ex ministers or members of previous governments, or a married to setving government members. It must be esatblushed that no undue influence has been brought to bear

A Royal Commission should be established to review the awarding of government [even if at 'arms length'] contracts to firms with board members who are either serving or former ministers or MPs, their spouses or family members, with a view to outlawing the practice as it brings the business of government and oversight into disrepute.
