About this site

Lobbyocracy.org is a decentralised attempt to map money flows in Australian politics. We feel that by making the links between where the money comes from, and who the money goes to, all Australians can get a better understanding of the forces at play, and from this produce better analysis and better critique.

Lobbyocracy.org is a project of the Australian Centre for Democracy and Justice (http://democracyandjustice.org)

Feature Article of the Month: Kamco

Kamco is a US-based company that won a tender to replace Melbourne's public transport ticketing system with the myki card.

A report tabled to Parliament in October 2007, Auditor-General Des Pearson found that the tender process for the ticket system had been conducted properly. However a draft of the report leaked to The Age found "a series of conflicts of interest, probity issues, backdating of reports and favouring of the eventual winning bidder Kamco, a consortium led by American IT firm Keane."

The Transport Ticketing Authority was set up to run the tender process and oversee the introduction of the myki card. The head of this organisation is Vivian Miners who owned a small amount of shares in the Kamco consortium when it won the tender.
