“As such, Mr Pyne is prohibited from engaging in lobbying activities on behalf of Saber until 11 October 2020.”The letter, though, highlights difficulties in enforcing the lobbying rules. Walter could only seek assurances from GC Advisory that Pyne would be kept at arm’s length from involvement with Saber. “Any lobbying activities concerning Saber Astronautics applicable under the Australian Lobbying Code of Conduct will not be handled by Mr Pyne,” he wrote. “Mr Pyne will not be aware of Saber Astronautics defence interests, if any. GC Advisory adheres to the Lobbying Code of Conduct in every respect.”Saber is not the only defence contractor taken on by GC Advisory.
