SOME of the world's biggest weapons manufacturers and arms dealers are among companies to have wined and dined Defence executives and military officers, internal government records show.

The records shine a light on the relationship between the Defence industry's big hitters and the military, with more than 110 free dinners, lunches, theatre and football tickets given to the Defence Department's three-star personnel from a range of companies in the past three years.

The recently retired head of the Chief Capability Development Group, Vice-Admiral Matt Tripovich, enjoyed more hospitality than any other senior official - accepting almost one-quarter of all such events taken up by senior levels of the Australian defence establishment.

Admiral Tripovich, responsible for securing cabinet approval to buy new multimillion-dollar weapon systems, benefited from 28 invitations to dinners, concerts, the theatre and rugby Tests.

And the federal government's second-most senior arms buyer, Warren King, is another prolific luncher, accepting 25 invitations from companies seeking defence contracts.
