As Senator Pocock interjects: nothing to see here! How could this be legal? How could this be considered legal or ethical practice in 2023?

Yes, the former Morrison government was woeful—dreadful—and we all came in here hoping for better. And yet this is what we get: stepping out of being chief of staff to the Minister for Home Affairs one day and right into being government relations adviser for a major French multinational—which, did I mention, is mired in corruption scandal after corruption scandal around the globe? If anyone is interested, just Google 'Jacob Zuma', 'Thales' and 'corruption', and you can see that ongoing corruption trial.
