Elbit’s Australian enabler, former Defence Minister and current Defence lobbyist Christopher Pyne holding a DroneShield weapon while he was still Defence Minister.
Pyne now represents DroneShield as a lobbyist. Pyne became a lobbyist for Elbit as soon as legally possible, after securing $89 million worth of contracts for Elbit while Australia’s Defence Minister. Pyne arranged a ‘meet the arms dealers’ do at Parliament House, spruiking Elbit weapons to sympathetic MPs. No Greens MPs were invited, however Lidia Thorpe and Jordan Steele John gate-crashed the event. Senator Steel John called it “one of the most egregious and sickening examples of the revolving door of former politicians becoming lobbyists for their big corporate mates that I have seen.”
In February 2021 Elbit Australia partnered with the Victorian government to launch a Victorian Research Centre of Excellence Artificial Intelligence, autonomy and robotics to “drive the research, development and commercialisation of defence technologies… Utilising specialist Australian engineers, Elbit’s new Port Melbourne-based Centre will work with Victorian universities and research organisations to foster collaboration within the innovation ecosystem, create new products and develop existing research discoveries into licensed products.” 4 Translated, this means using brilliant scientific minds to create new weapons for sale.
