Consulting firm EY confirms it approached the then defence minister about a potential job offer three days before the election was called.

8 April 2019 - Mr Pyne meets EY defence industry leader Mark Stewart17 April 2019 - EY offers Mr Pyne a job as a consultant7 June 2019 - Mr Pyne starts the new job

"Consistent with our public statements on this matter, EY has not, and will not, seek that Mr Pyne lobby, advocate or have business meetings with members of the Government, Parliament, public service or Defence Force on any matters on which he has had official dealings as Minister in his last 18 months in office," Mr Stewart said.

"EY has not sought, nor has Mr Pyne provided to EY, any confidential information to which Mr Pyne had access as a Minister." "I believe that a former-Minister should have the ability to gain employment after they have left the Parliament — whether or not that employment relates to the matters they dealt with as a Minister," he wrote to the committee.

Let’s not pretend to be shocked at this. Politicians can always be trusted to put self interest first. Next...

More certainty of getting the job confirmed while still a minister. Haven’t you worked out how the world works?

The party room meeting went like this: Pyne: I'm thing of taking up the nod nod wink wink job with xyz Anon: Good for you. So what? Pyne: Well this is a rather large contract we are proposing with xyz Anon: So? Pyne: Do I have a conflict of interest? All: Much laughter
