'Jacob Zuma' and 'Thales'—the ongoing corruption trial in South Africa, where they literally corrupted the head of the government to get an arms deal with them. Nothing to see here!

So I commend Senator Pocock for the motion and I join with him and, I think, the vast majority of the crossbench to say to the Albanese government: you came in with all these promises, all these statements about transparency, and you said things would be different. Well, if that's true, I've got a French arms deal to sell you!
