She begins to sympathise with his views on the Australian government’s intention to eject all non-Australians from the Mawson base in Antarctica. Dave does not want this to happen, as all his research is based around the Mawson area. Amelia knows that a senior advisor to the minister is coming to visit the Mawson base in a few weeks. She tells Dave that she’ll help him. Amelia’s friend, Betty overhears this. Betty is supportive, but voices her worry that this might make Amelia contravene the Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme Act 2018 (Cth). Amelia brushes this off with a laugh.
