This episode of Defence Connect Insight features former minister for defence, current chairman of Pyne and Partners, and author of The Insider: The scoops, the scandals and the serious business within the Canberra bubble, Christopher Pyne.

Pyne joins hosts Phil Tarrant and Steve Kuper to discuss the catalyst for writing his book, whether he ever lost a sense of purpose while serving in government defence roles, and what he misses most about working in politics.

He reflects on how the nation’s geo-strategic situation has evolved over the last few years, what he’s most proud of from his career in the defence portfolio, and how he’s found the transition from working in government to business.
