Amend Members Code of Conduct to prohibit other Employment and Consultancy.
Amend the current Code of Conduct to allow MPs to give full focus to their role and Constituents by prohibiting Members to be in any other Employment.
It is becoming apparent that Parliament is not functioning as it should. MPs complain that they have a difficult job with challenging demands. In order for the Electorate to have faith and trust in our chosen representatives, and for them to fulfill their democratic responsibilities, a review of the MPs Code of Conduct is overdue. Removing the distraction of external employment and consultancy services would allow our MPs more time to focus on the issues that affect their Constituents.
