Well, this was totally out of the blue and so out of character for the party of #dirtypolitics. Lobbyists are back to scurrying in and out with swipe cards.
Sorry, Brownlee, but if people have this level of access to politicians then it is most assuredly public business, and the public needs to know who they are, how often they come crawling, and who they're seeing.
