asked the Minister for Finance and Deregulation, upon notice, on 26 November 2012:

Can copies be provided of any policies or contractual terms the Australian Submarine Corporation (ASC) has with respect to ensuring that consultants engaged by the ASC Group of Companies, who make representations to government officials regarding submarines or warship procurement/sustainment, incidental or otherwise, are registered on the Commonwealth Register of Lobbyists.

The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:

Pursuant to the Lobbying Code of Conduct (LCC), it is the responsibility of the individual or company providing the service to ensure they meet the requirements to register and comply.

ASC advises that is has no policies or contractual terms over and above the LCC requirements.
