The former Defence Minister Christopher Pyne’s lobbying firm have engaged in another weapons manufacturer called DroneShield.

Mr Pyne, as a former minister, was barred until November last year for lobbying on official matters previously dealt with in his portfolio.  Pyne’s lobbying firm is now directly courting federal MP’s. 

There is currently no law that prevents former ministers from lobbying after 18 months on previous portfolio matters once they have left office.
