About this episode
Does there need to be more transparency around lobbying?
A Four Corners investigation has revealed dozens of former defence officials, including ministers, high-ranking officers and senior staffers, have jumped from government roles into lucrative lobbying firms or the defence sector.

Guests:
- Jennifer Lacy-Nichols, senior research fellow, University of Melbourne
